All Day Is a Long Time - by David Sanchez (Hardcover)

All Day is a Long Time is a captivating, searing, and ultimately redemptive debut novel about coming of age on Florida's drug-riddled Gulf Coast.

This exceptional book follows the journey of David, who runs away from home at fourteen after trying crack cocaine for the first time.

Over the next decade, he fights his way out of jail and rehab, struggling to make sense of a sunken world where faith in anything is a privilege.

Through it all, David's mind races with thoughts of Dante, Moby Dick, Hemingway, and Milton, as he searches for meaning and purpose.

But it isn't until he takes a literature class at a community college that something within him ignites.

This powerful and moving novel is a must-read for fans of Denis Johnson and Ocean Vuong, and will leave readers with hope despite the dark themes explored throughout.
