Long Way Gone

Publisher Description

:Cooper O'Connor was a long way from home-both geographically and from the damage he caused. Now that he's back, is healing possible?

At the age of eighteen, singer/songwriter Cooper O'Connor thumbed his nose at his dad, stole most everything he held dear, and made his way to Nashville ... where he promptly lost everything. After five difficult years, he fell in love with Daley Cross, an angelic voice in need of a song. As their friendship grows and he realizes his love for her, he's framed for a crime, shot, and left to die in a house on fire. Miraculously, he survives but the damage is severe: he can no longer sing or play music.

He quietly returns home to the mountains of Colorado, hoping to answer the questions that plague him. With forgiveness and reconciliation a distant dream, Cooper searches for a way to use his gifts for others-always hoping that somewhere along the way redemption will come within reach.
