O'sullivan, Patrick.

Breaking Away : A Harrowing True Story of Resilience Courage and Triumph. - HarperCollins Publishers, 2015 - p. cm.

FP 16,000(CDN) BREAKING AWAY is a story about abuse, but it is also a story about triumph, as O'Sullivan revisits the ghosts of his past. He gives readers a disturbing account of 10 years of ever escalating physical abuse and emotional cruelty at the hands of his father. When Patrick proved more skilled than other 8-year-olds, John O'Sullivan decided to dedicate his life to turning his son into the player he had always dreamed of becoming. John O'Sullivan was the over-involved parent. Few had an idea of the dysfunction and violence at the O'Sullivans' home. Canadian author
