“Perfect for fans of Bobbi French, Driving into the Sun is a taut yet tender exploration of familial obligation and love, the silences that harm us, and the terror and confusion of an unfurling mind.” —Charlene Carr, award-winning author of We Rip the World Apart

“Driving into the Sun is a sister novel, a road trip novel, a dysfunctional family novel. On their thwarted journey to the sunniest city in BC, all the main characters contend with their unique darkness, but each one, in her own broken, desperate way, reaches for the light. Babcock's honest and engaging storytelling gets me deeply invested in her characters ... and their poor messed-up family. I'd follow these three women anywhere (though I might not sit at the same table—they're the type to throw stuff, even punches). This novel captures the (sometimes insurmountable) challenges of contemporary family life, but also its aching beauty.” —Angie Abdou, award-winning author of The Bone Cage

“Emotionally raw and quietly uplifting, this story of two estranged sisters and their ailing mother driving across the west powerfully unfolds what it takes to travel the hard road of forgiveness.” —Thomas Wharton, award-winning author of Wolf, Moon, Dog and The Book of Rain

"Becca Babcock beautifully invites us on a road trip where two sisters struggle with all the moments, all the small choices which can create chasms between them. A raw meditation on mercy." —R.W. Grey, award-winning author of Entropic
