The Crossroads of Logan Michaels - Softcover

“Sometimes hilarious, sometimes painful, but always gritty and real, The Crossroads of Logan Michaels examines a bright young man’s downward spiral into addiction; the forces that drive him to drinking and drugs, and ultimately the forces that may guide him back out. Thumbs-up for this debut!” – James Frey, best-selling author of A Million Little Pieces, My Friend Leonard, and Bright Shiny Morning

“An inspirational and relatable tale that’ll remind you of The Sandlot. Roberts’ debut novel is sure to set him on a prosperous path in the years ahead.” – Miles McCarthy, author of The Horologist and founder of @aSeriesofTheories on Instagram

“I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to read The Crossroads of Logan Michaels. The story is engaging, it kept my interest throughout, the characters are fully drawn, and the writing is clear and engaging. Actually, the story is more than engaging, it is about life and should interest all of us, leaving us with insight and satisfaction.” Joel Block, Ph.D., author of The 15-Minute Relationship Fix: A Clinically Proven Strategy That Will Repair and Strengthen Your Love Life

“Bad things do happen to good boys. And, sometimes, Logan Michaels finds out, they get much, much worse. A coming of age tale of the human spirit, redemption and a son’s love.” – Mary R. Arno, author of Thanksgiving

“I became invested with his characters early on and I cared about what happened to them. I have come to realize, through my own writing, that we are all trying to provide a snapshot of a place in time. Mr. Roberts does exactly that. I’d read more from him.” – William Lobb, author of The Third Step

“Roberts has written about the roller-coaster life of Logan Michael, beginning at the apex and then hurtling down through bad decisions and hard luck. His teenage hubris leads to drugs and drink instead of college and success. But the roller-coaster then promises a thrilling upturn when he confronts his mother’s mortality. No doubt a sequel is in Roberts’ plans.” – Bruce Joel Brittain, Author of Brother Daniel’s Good News Revival

“Thumbs-up for this debut!” —James Frey, best-selling author of A Million Little Pieces
