His destination: an artist's residency in Prince Rupert, where he planned to work on a graphic novel about his eight-week journey across Canada. But this story, like most, isn't about the destination.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhen Jon sets out, he's less than two years sober, he's recently broken up with his girlfriend, and his mother has just revealed a startling family secret. As Jon drives, he makes frequent stops to visit exes and children, old friends and new, and attends meetings to support his sobriety. He sorts through memories of his past, reconciling them with his present--and makes amends, seeks wisdom from wildlife, and learns the value of getting lost along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eTake the Long Way Home\u003c\/i\u003e, Claytor explores alcoholism, love, and family through heart-rending vignettes and expressive linework. This is the story of a man who unpacks a difficult past, only to discover that even at his lowest point, he was never truly alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Conundrum Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/26\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781772620702\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.50w x 1.10d","brand":"Jon Claytor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41993187852469,"sku":"9781772620702","price":21.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_d60473df-217e-48f1-a5c6-81f8ddd4a70f.jpg?v=1648524361","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/take-the-long-way-home-9781772620702","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
