About the book:
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 to
his remote home in the 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.
A radical retelling of the story of the prodigal son, 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.
My Thoughts:
I liked the theme of the book, a new take on the parable, the Prodigal Son. It started out strong and I was enjoying every reading moment and then the book took a nose dive. I was really sad that it happened that way. Honestly, I was really looking forward to reading this and I hate that I didn't enjoy it more.
