Fender: A Novel (Brent Jones)How far must we travel to find our way home?

Nothing could have prepared Brennan Glover for the car crash that claimed the lives of his wife and six-year-old daughter. Stricken with grief, the only things that get him through each day are breaking his sobriety and clinging to Fender—the family dog and the sole survivor of the crash.

Desperate to distance Brennan from tragedy, his two closest friends take him on the cross-country road trip they had always talked about. But what begins as an effort to mend his broken heart ends up unraveling a secret that changes everything he thought he knew about his family. Can a journey of six thousand miles lead Brennan to acceptance and new beginnings?

From finding the good in an often cruel world to learning to say goodbye to those we love most, this sophomore release from author Brent Jones is sure to leave readers longing for home, wherever that may be.

Available in print, audio, and eBook formats.

. . . a tragic-comic series of events that proves that the journey is more important than the destination. . . . Fender is a delightful . . . story about the redemptive power of friendship.

—Lynda Dickson, Book Reviewer (booksdirectonline.blogspot.com)

[Fender] is as visceral as it should be. . . . There is laughter, tears, foul language, anger, more laughter and eventually, glimmers of hope . . . I can’t recommend this one enough.

—Shannon O’Sullivan, Book Reviewer (readsandreels.com)

Brent is a kick-ass storyteller. . . . I have little doubt [Fender] will tug at the heartstrings of anyone who reads it.

—Dana Gore, Author of Choose Awareness

A Look at the Road Trip That Inspired “Fender” (With Photos)

A Look at the Road Trip That Inspired "Fender" (With Photos)

The road trip in Fender is based on a real road trip my wife and I took with our dogs back in 2015. Just for fun, I thought I’d share our itinerary from that trip, as well as a few photos.

Including driving around each destination—from the hotel to dinner, landmarks, dog parks, and so forth—we logged more than 7,000 miles and 126 hours behind the wheel on that trip, visiting 12 destination cities and spending 23 nights on the road.

We took I-90 west, I-5 south, and I-80 back east.

Jones does not gloss over the trouble, pain or darkness in a person’s life experience, but he feathers [Fender] with quick, sure glimpses of the good in life . . . It leaves me with the feeling of having met real people. . . . I’m waiting eagerly for Jones’s third book!

—Amy Roebuck, Fort Erie Public Library

Brent Jones has exceeded expectation that his sophomore novel, Fender, might best the debut. This emotionally packed literary saga . . . is powerful and profane and masterfully examines the overwhelming condition of stupefying grief.

—Stanley McShane (Virginia Williams), Author of Cocos Island Treasure
