Summary
No matter where you go, no matter whether you succeed or fail, stand or fall, no gone is too far gone. You can always come home. At the age of eighteen, musician and songwriter Cooper O'Connor took everything his father held dear and drove 1,200 miles from home to Nashville, his life riding on a six-string guitar and the bold wager that he had talent. But his wager soon proved foolish.Five years after losing everything, he falls in love with Daley Cross, an angelic voice in need of a song. But just as he realizes his love for Daley, Cooper faces a tragedy that threatens his life as well as his career. With nowhere else to go, he returns home to the remote Colorado mountains, searching for answers about his father and his faith.When Daley shows up on his street corner twenty years later, he wonders if it's too late to tell her the truth about his past and if he is ready to face it himself.A radical retelling of the prodigal son story, Long Way Gone takes us from tent revivals to the Ryman Auditorium to the tender relationship between a broken man and the father who never stopped calling him home.
You've probably come across stories about child soldiers before, but "The Long Way Gone" presents a raw and authentic account that truly exposes the harsh reality. Ishmael's experiences as a young boy are nothing short of astounding. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking not only knowledge but also a different perspective on this issue.
The Long Way Gone is a book that effectively transports readers into the midst of war, offering a genuine portrayal without the actual experience. It is truly gratifying that Ishmael survived to recount his compelling story, allowing us to grasp the fact that some narratives go unnoticed by mainstream media.
I'm an avid reader/listener who consumes a lot of books. "The Long Way Gone" is, without a doubt, the best one I've come across. I was completely hooked and couldn't tear myself away from it. Many thanks for such an incredible experience.
