Lyrical Prose and Second Chances

Long Way Gone by Charles Martin
Young Cooper O’Connor leaves his father and heads off to Nashville to make a fresh start for himself.  He takes everything of value from his father, expecting that he will make it big there and be able to return after having proved himself.  The years pass and he never sees his father again, but carries the lessons his father taught him in his heart.

  Years after a devastating tragedy, Cooper meets up with his long-lost love and wants to make amends but doubts that she will believe the truth.  He must decide if his love for her is worth the risk of rejection yet again.


Charles Martin weaves a beautiful tale of love and second chances set to lyrical prose.  It gives the reader hope that reconciliation and God’s purposes are being worked even in difficult relationships.  I loved this book:  its characters, storyline, plot twists, and the satisfying conclusion.  I received a free copy from the publisher for my honest opinion.
