RALEIGH, N.C., March 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In Alex Sirotkin\u2019s \u201cThe Long Desert Road<\/a>\u201d (published by Archway Publishing), when a science nerd falls for a bright, beautiful attorney whose daughter is addicted to opiates, the three embark on an incredible journey that transforms their lives.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Henry, a middle-aged science writer, falls for Isabel, an attorney, who\u2019s trying to repair a strained relationship with her daughter, Lauren, a 21 year-old bipolar addict. These three personalities become entwined in an unexpected journey. \u201cThe Long Desert Road\u201d takes Henry, Isabel, and Lauren to unfamiliar places: lifeless valleys, alien plateaus, and the tops of lofty peaks, from which their lives appear altogether different. Full of twists and turns, the plot explores questions addictions and the universe, faith and suffering, courage and fear, truth and deception, death and love.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI have certainly sent messages to my readers, about things that are vital to me,\u201d Sirotkin says. \u201cBut what I want is only that the book causes the reader to think, to feel and to remember. What the reader takes away, if anything, is up to the reader.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Long Desert Road\u201d is available for purchase online at the Archway link above, at Barnes & Noble and on Amazon at: https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Long-Desert-Road-Alex-Sirotkin\/dp\/1480893706<\/a>.<\/p>\n
