Days Are Gone - Paperback

by Alan Watt (Author)

THE STORY OF A MAN AND WOMAN UNMOORED BY MISTAKES FROM THEIR PASTS. DAYS ARE GONE IS A MOVING MEDITATION ON REGRET AND THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF FORGIVENESS. Alice just walked out of her marriage to aging rock star, Chick Wolfson, leaving behind a life of privilege and a man she never loved. Heading north from San Francisco to stay with her family, she is sidelined when Chick cancels her credit cards. With her tank on empty, she crawls into Waiden, a small lumber town off the Oregon coast where she lands a minimum wage job. She meets Webb Cooley, grocery clerk and recent parolee of Oregon State Correctional Facility. Quiet and withdrawn, Webb carries secrets of his own. As they are pulled into a relationship they are forced to confront the pasts that they have been trying to outrun. Exquisitely written with a propulsive narrative, Days Are Gone explores how our identity often rests on the secrets we keep, especially from ourselves.
