Greg Cooper was never meant to be the frontman. As the drummer of Sage, one of the biggest bands of the ‘70s. He was supposed to stay in the background, playing the music that fueled his soul.
But fame has a cost.
As the band fractures under pressure and friendships crumble, Greg is pulled deeper into the music industry’s world of excess. After Sage implodes, he’s left with a solo career, a Grammy-winning album, and an addiction he doesn’t know if he can shake, and can’t even name.
When tragedy forces him home to small-town Texas after years away, Greg must confront everything he ran from: the family he left behind, the friendships he lost, and the question that’s haunted him from the start: was it all worth it?
Told with unflinching honesty and quiet intensity, I’m Goin’ Back is a raw, reflective novel about the price of chasing a dream, and the long road to finding yourself again.
