Book Description:
Just before eleven on an ordinary summer night in Washington, D.C., Tucker Jones picks up the phone, expecting to hear that his teenage daughter, Kat, is back from the movies. But the caller is another parent, a man who tells Tucker that Kat was actually at a party-and makes a shocking allegation about what happened to her there. In a blind rage, Tucker races to the party to find Kat already departed, but his full-boil interrogation of the boys still present spills over into a confrontation-and ends with one of the boys crashing into a glass tabletop. In a second, his rage turns to remorse, and he soon finds himself under arrest. Tucker could easily lose his home and his business, but he is most concerned about losing his daughter. Stephen Goodwin writes with insight and rare power about the way that passion rearranges lives.

As Tucker and Kat and everyone around them seek to repair the damages of that night, Breaking Her Fall charts their uncommonly difficult passage from despair to reconciliation and hope with extraordinary grace.

What a wonderful novel about a father trying to protect his daughter. I started reading this book the day after Christmas and could hardly put it down until I finished it. Stephen Goodwin get's inside a parent's mind and heart so beautifully. I highly recommend this book.

Terrible. I tried so hard to get into this book. I read 140 pages, but I just could not make myself finish the book. I can only think of one other book I have not finished in my lifetime.

A situation that could happen to any parent - love, panic, reaction. Hard to put down. A quick-to-read, compelling story of a father's love; a family in crisis. I really enjoyed it.

This was a wonderful, well-written novel that dealt with the intricacies of relationships. Excellent character development.
