They weathered hurricane winds of change and destruction, and now the Faber family must deal with a new challenge: their son, Avrumie, has left his past behind and comes to live at home again, but he is in limbo and in despair. This book, the sequel to the bestselling Breaking Point, is also a standalone read. Breaking Point told the story of a teen who leaves Yiddishkeit for the dark pursuits of a pool hall and a set of fellow dropouts; Breaking Free is the story of a family struggling to rebuild and redefine itself. With sensitivity and poignancy, Riva Pomerantz, acclaimed author of Green Fences, weaves a plot and a cast of characters so real the reader will feel like part of the family. Avrumie's finally home, but the story is just beginning. This book addresses a very real-life challenge in our world today, the challenge of children coming "home" without knowing what they are looking to become. Step into the pages of this gripping book and find a part of you inspired, a part of you transformed, and plenty of food for thought.
