Author J. F. Dacey takes readers on a sometimes whimsical and often times dark journey though the slightly fictional city of Jackson Falls, Massachusetts during the late nineteen seventies. Ride along in his cab as he encounters saints, sinners, hookers, junkies and thugs; all struggling to survive in a once great but now crumbling mill town that sits on the edge of reinventing itself. Based on Dacey's real life experiences driving a cab on the midnight shift in the city of Lowell (of Jack Kerouac fame and recently featured in the Mark Wahlberg film The Fighter) for one perilous year, Take The Long Way Home tells a street level tale of a tough blue collar city in the words and deeds of its citizens. ...a well written joy ride into the underside of Lowell when the city was on the cusp of change and starting to turn itself around. Nancye Tuttle The Lowell Sun
