Long Way Gone by Charles Martin
Without hearing the music, I could still feel it in this story!
This story touched my soul. I love music and the way it is felt, and described is so soulful. I have several favorite quotes from this book that I love.
“ I will not let the fear of what might be rob me of the promise of what can.”
“…music washes us from the inside out. It heals what nothing else can.”
“Sometimes we have to sing through the scars. Sometimes a song is the only thing that heals the broken places in us. Only thing that breaks the chains of the heart.”
Cooper O’Connor took everything his father had to offer and struck out on his on at eighteen. He was foolish and mistakes found him. Five years later, he fell in love with the most talented woman he would ever meet. Daley Cross had an angelic voice. Cooper faces tragedy and ends up back home in search of the mystery that was his father’s faith.
Daley shows up twenty years after Cooper hits rock bottom and he wonders if it’s too late for truth and honesty. He has to face his worst demon, himself.
This is a wonderful retelling of the prodigal son story, taking us through tent revivals to Nashville’s most iconic stage on the road of a broken man finding his faith.
I absolutely loved this story. Charles Martin is a favorite author and never fails to inspire me with his writing! 5+/5⭐
