Description
A small town boy, growing up in the 1950's. The black sheep of his four siblings. Trying to avoid the wrath of his abusive father, while seeking meaning and purpose in the midst of his struggles. Will he escape the confines of Longview, Mississippi and become the man his father said he'd never be? Or will he believe the lies he's been told for years and let fear predict the future for him. Will a love interest benefit or bemoan him in his quest for internal freedom? Or will the love of his life play a role in his ultimate downfall. Enjoy reading The Long View and allow yourself to be immersed in this true-to-life literary work that will have you laughing, crying, and on the edge of your seat in suspense. It's filled with a raw emotion and transparency that will pierce your soul and you'll finish wanting more. The path to self discovery is a long one and the view isn't always clear, but once you reach the final destination and take a look back, you'll realize The Long View is the best view; as the opposite would not grant enough time to fully live, learn, and recognize that all the challenges were actually gifts in disguise.
