Long Way Gone by Charles Martin

My rating: 5.0

Cooper's father is an old fashioned tent preacher. Cooper is raised with religion and music. As he grows into his late teens, he feels anger and resentment and finally takes his father's truck, money and guitar and heads to Nashville.


Amazing writing. This book captures more than I am capable of explaining in my review. The love of a parent, the constraint a child feels against the protective love of a parent, miracles and believing in so much more than  yourself. This is a coming of age, love story that is about musicians and so much more. This is a Christian themed book (picture The Prodigal Son). I believe in miracles and if you read it, you will too.
