Publisher's summary

What do you do when the love of your life is hanging by a thread?

This is the reality that I found myself in when tragedy struck. Join me in my public and private battle for my husband’s life and career through the story of On Borrowed Breath.

Diagnosed with COVID-19, Dr. David Wilkinson, my husband and an otherwise-healthy, 50-year-old surgeon, was suddenly fighting for his life. Placed on life support and given an almost zero chance of recovery, I had to champion his cause and not give up when the odds were against him waking up.

Relying on my faith and the support of praying friends, I found myself needing to make life and death decisions. Should I withdraw life support or fight for my husband’s slim chance of survival through a double lung transplant?

A story of love, perseverance and enduring faith against all odds, this book is for anyone who has been through something larger than themselves, including navigating a major health crisis. May my story offer you strength, love, and hope — no matter what situation you are battling.

A must listen! A story about the amazing power of faith, prayer, hope and love!

I personally was a witness to this incredible story and am still just in-awe of all God’s miraculous work throughout Karen and David’s journey. I read the book, but hearing it from Karen and David’s voice, was just so moving, powerful and at times gut-wrenching. It is a must-listen! This is a story of faith, love, strength and grit. Karen was such an incredible advocate for David and I have no doubt that she is the reason David is still here today. It is an absolute honor to know you both. - Nikki
