The Long Way Home. The Script Whisperer, #4

Connor Wells spent two years in Los Angeles chasing a dream that nearly destroyed him. His screenplay was stolen. His TV pilot died in a merger. Everything he thought he wanted slipped through his fingers. Then something unexpected happened. He fell in love with a set designer named Simone. He discovered he was good at location scouting. And he wrote a novel-not the blockbuster he'd imagined, but something honest about failure and finding yourself on the other side of broken dreams.
When a Chicago literary agent offers to represent his book, Connor faces a choice: stay in Los Angeles and keep chasing the Hollywood version of success, or follow Simone to Portland and build a different kind of life."The Long Way Home" is the story of what happens when you finally stop running toward what you think you should want and start moving toward what you actually need. It's about redefining success on your own terms.
About choosing love over ambition. About discovering that sometimes the detours are exactly where you were supposed to go all along. Perfect for readers who loved "The Midnight Library" and "Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine, " this is a quiet, powerful story about second chances, small-town values meeting big-city dreams, and learning that making it doesn't always look like you imagined.
