Reviews of Breathe at Every Other Stroke       

            "Set predominantly in the Pacific Northwest, Ms. Gullard's quiet stories explore the small victories of domesticity, shining a porch light on the decisive instants when individuals somehow regain a measure of control over lives derailed by trauma or stalled by circumstance."
                        New York Times Book Review - Sarah Ferguson 

 

            "A debut collection from a remarkably empathetic and versatile new talent....A rich, readable, wonderfully varied collection."
