Why read it?
1 author picked Breaking into Sunlight as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I loved this book because it so perfectly captures what it's like to care so much about someone (or something) over which you have zero control.
Reese desperately wants his dad to be a part of his life so that he -- and his mom -- can have a happy family. Cochran's novel exerted a magnetic pull on me because Reese's dad wants a happy family, too. Reese's dad has a lot of love to give. But Reese's dad is an addict. Reese's dad struggles to solve the addiction problem, so there's no way Reese can solve it.
