The Breakthrough is a story of prejudice and racial hatred. It is a story not unlike many "westerns" where the white man tried to keep the Indian on the reservation, and when or if he tries to leave and better himself, the greed of some tries to take away that new start. This is that story set in modern times. Charley Two-Moon wants a better life, and when he tries to breakout of the mold imposed upon him by society--the greedy powerful society of those in control of the county--the opposition he faces is nearly overwhelming. But Charley Two-Moon is better educated than most and he has a plan to succeed. What makes things even worse are his own relatives are against him. This book is poignant, yet funny in places; but over all it tells it like it really is--still is in fact--in some places. Will Cook is an exceptional writer. Too bad he died so young. But his body of work stands tall when compared with his contemporaries. His Saga of Texas Trilogy--Until Day Breaks, Until Shadows Fall, Until Darkness Disappears--has to rank at the top of any stories about the Lone Star State. Give Will Cook a read.
