The Long Way Round

by Paul Carter

The Long Way Round is a poignant tale that follows the life of Tom as he navigates the challenges of growing up and entering young adulthood. The story explores the lasting impact of life's seemingly minor moments and the importance of childhood experiences. The story also explores how easily we can be distracted from recognising and appreciating the blessings we already have. Along the way, Tom discovers that life sometimes has a way of healing through unexpected surprises, so that even in the darkest times, hope and redemption can be found.
