Synopsis

Imagine being ripped from the arms of the person you loved, and being left to die in a monster hurricane. Imagine loving someone so much that your capacity to survive becomes almost supernatural. Imagine traveling on foot day after day, night after night, sometimes to exhaustion, without a map or GPS, relying on nothing but your senses to guide you back home. Meet Jackson, a 12 pound cat with a broken tail and the heart of a lion. Born with an incomparable spirit, Jackson forms an unbreakable bond with a tender hearted 9 year old boy named Ty after Ty discovers him in a barn one spring day and begs his mother to keep him. Sporting a broken tail after being stepped on by a horse, Jackson eventually becomes part of the family as Ty's lobbying and Jackson's charm wins over Ty's mother, much to the chagrin of Ty's gruff father Brady. The family soon moves to Texas, where all is well until one day, a monster hurricane threatens their lives. Ty's heart is crushed as he is forced by authorities to leave Jackson behind to face an almost certain death while the family evacuates. But unbeknownst to Ty, Jackson miraculously survives and embarks on a long, determined journey back home to the family farm in Ohio. Along the way, he makes friends, finds adventure, provides entertainment in a most unusual way, and confronts multiple dangers until finally, just a few miles from home, Jackson's will to live is put to a supreme test.The Long Way Home is a story for young and old, for those who love animals and for those who cannot fully appreciate the bond between humans and their four legged friends. It is a story about how love can be rocket fuel for the will to live, and about how even the hardest of hearts can be melted by the bond between a child and his furry sidekick. Above all, this remarkable journey reminds us that no obstacle is ever too great to separate us from the ones we love.
