I enjoyed listening to this book on my way back and forth to work. It‘s a good reminder that no matter how far gone we think we, or someone we love may be, there is always hope!

Listening to my first Charles Martin book.

What a breath of fresh air! This unique retelling of the prodigal son is a captivating story of Cooper O‘Connor‘s life journey. The story begins in present day when Daley Cross, a blast from Cooper‘s past, appears on the scene. From reading so many thrillers and depressing settings and circumstances for books, this one cleansed my palate. Charles Martin is a simple but eloquent writer.

5 ⭐️. Long Way Gone is first and foremost a story about love and forgiveness. Charles Martin‘s writing is as lyrical as the music that Cooper O'Connor writes in his little black notebook. Long Way Gone captivates you from page one with a multifaceted heartwarming story intricately woven into a beautiful tapestry.

Another book I would not have chosen for myself. I'm sorry but humans just do not act this way. I'm all about stories of redemption and overcoming adversity but I also like a spot of realism.

This was the first book I've read by this author and I was totally smitten with it! It was beautifully written and engrossing with a terrific message of love, faith, and hope.

Wrapped up the first of my effort to branch out in 2017.

Such a radiant story, it's hard to put into words. The author does a wonderful job of bringing the characters to life, enriching the story with both their trumps and their struggles, and the ending, oh my goodness. I finished it on lunch break and had to clock in all red eyed and snotty. Fabulous read!
