The Long Ago

In the early 1960s, Ray Lansdale returns from Vietnam to his Montana home to search for his missing sister.

In this gripping story, the broken lives of siblings Raymond and Barbara Lansdale are tenuously held together by their childhood fantasy of The Long Ago: a distant place where happiness and tranquility reign, far removed from the fears and fights at home.

To escape his painful memories, Raymond joined the army and found a career that gave him purpose and a sense of adventure. But news of his kid sister Barbara's sudden disappearance brings him back during a short leave before returning to active duty and another deployment to Vietnam.

Embarking on a search that takes him from majestic Montana ranchlands and glittering Hollywood to the mean streets of LA, Ray is forced to confront his worst nightmare. What if Barbara's search for The Long Ago ended in a shallow, unmarked grave, not the carefree life she'd once imagined?

Richly crafted,The Long Ago is a spin-off from McGarrity's Kevin Kerney family saga.
