The Long Desert Road - Hardcover
by Alex Sirotkin (Author)
Henry is a middle-aged science writer whose infatuation with the cosmos gets in the way of his love life. He's researching the most compelling mystery of the universe when he meets Isabel, a bright attorney with captivating eyes. For Henry, who's been romantically struggling for years, it's love at first sight.
Isabel is not so quickly convinced, well aware of her own baggage. Her daughter, Lauren, is a stunning, smart, and intuitive twenty-one year-old with issues-most notably, her addiction to opiates and alcohol. Lauren's been to hell and back, taking her mom with her most of the way. She's got one last chance before Isabel cuts her off for good.
These three personalities become strangely entwined in a poignant, uplifting, funny, and fascinating, yet unexpected journey. The Long Desert Road takes Henry, Isabel, and Lauren to unfamiliar places: lifeless valleys, alien plateaus, and the tops of lofty peaks, from which their lives appear altogether different. It's a gripping story about addictions and the universe, faith and suffering, courage and fear, truth and deception, death and love.
Alex Sirotkin lives with his beautiful and loving wife, Jeanette, and their dog, Scout, in Raleigh, North Carolina. A caring father and grandfather, and attorney and businessman for nearly four decades, Alex is now the author of his debut novel.
