But on Florida's Gulf Coast, one can slip into deep water unconsciously; at the age of fourteen, David runs away from home to pursue a girl and, on his journey, tries crack cocaine for the first time. He's hooked instantly. Over the course of the next decade, he fights his way out of jail and rehab, trying to make sense of the world around him--a sunken world where faith in anything is a privilege. He makes his way to a tenuous sobriety, but it isn't until he takes a literature class at a community college that something within him ignites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAll Day is a Long Time\u003c\/em\u003e is a spectacular, raw account of growing up and managing, against every expectation, to carve out a place for hope.

David Sanchez's debut resounds with real force and demonstrates the redemptive power of the written word. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Harper Perennial","offers":[{"title":"All Day Is a Long Time | David Sanchez | Paperback | 9780063271524 | New | Fiction 1513165","offer_id":48163084632216,"sku":"1513165","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81Xrbi4GYCL.jpg?v=1771876317","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/all-day-is-a-long-time","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
