What do you do when the life you built collapses-and you're still left standing?
Evan Cole had everything under control. A rising career. A structured life. A future built on precision and discipline.
Until it wasn't.
What begins as quiet dependence on alcohol and prescription pills turns into something deeper-something harder to see, and even harder to stop.
After losing everything-his relationship, his career, and nearly himself-Evan is forced into a reality he can no longer outrun.
Recovery isn't dramatic. It isn't clean. And it doesn't come with guarantees.
It's slow. Uneven. Uncomfortable.
But it's real.
The Long Way Back is a raw, unflinching novel about addiction, accountability, and the quiet, difficult process of rebuilding a life-one honest choice at a time.
