Little Boy Lost

Martha Daniels worked hard on the sharecropper's farm, hating the hard work and dreamed of leaving. Wanting more from life, she found it after the town's local hotel hired her-she met Joe. After three short years, she returned to the farm she hated and bickering parents. Her husband's unforeseen accident on an oil rig changed their lives and that of their infant son, Johnny. Long Road Home's Little Boy Lost is a story of Johnny Daniels, a painfully-shy, poverty-stricken country boy. Johnny is emotionally and verbally abused and lied to by those he loves the most. As a confused, fearful, and lonely boy, he felt that something was always missing in his life. Leaving the only world he'd ever known gave Johnny an empty feeling. This nagging emptiness caused him to travel down many roads searching for what was missing, love, happiness-and home.
