Long Way Down: One Man's Journey Away From Home... and Into the Mountains

By R. W. Garrett

He's new in town. She's just passing through. How's this going to work?

Walker James had enough problems after getting a work transfer that forced him to move from his hometown of Cairo, Illinois to Middlesboro, Kentucky. Gruff, stern, and now thoroughly fed up, he's got yet another problem: figuring out if he can let himself fall in love with someone again.

May Stephens is a hippie, a sweetheart, and a free spirit who just happened to be passing through the Middlesboro area on a whim. She had problems of her own: she had been traveling solo full-time for over a year, and was starting to get lonely. She quickly realizes this place won't quite be as easy to leave as all the others she'd visited.

Step into the beautiful world of the Cumberland Gap with Walker and May, as they explore Cumberland Gap National Park, Pine Mountain State Park in Kentucky, and Wilderness Road State Park in Virginia, all while a beautiful romance story unfolds. There's a little bit of everything in Long Way Down: a lot of nature, a few laughs, a few tears, a few heartwarming moments. So with Walker being new in town and closed off, and May only being in town a short time, how is this going to work? Pick up a copy of Long Way Down today and find out
