Harbor Lights by Theodore Weesner

Russell Banksrecommends
Harbor Lights, a novel by Theodore Weesner: "Ted Weesner, over the years since his powerful first novel,
The Car Thief, has come numerous times to the rescue of American realism in fiction, and he's done it again with
Harbor Lights, a tough-minded and compassionate portrait of a good man struggling against odds not to hurt the people he loves." (Atlantic Monthly)
