“Breazeale’s novel is an enticing, captivating read. ...the book rings true with many current public fears. This work of suspense also holds deeper messages of love, life, and understanding our demons. ... Easy to read and impossible to put down, Reaching Home is bound to be a great hit!” —Reviewed by: Heather Froeschl of BookReview.com
