Can we lose a loved one without losing ourselves?
Twenty-eight-year-old Drew Thomson is haunted by a troubled past. After struggling for years with alcoholism and antisocial behavior, he ends a stable relationship with his girlfriend and finds himself without a home, job, or purpose.
Just as he learns that his father is terminally ill, he meets a stranger who offers him a flicker of hope for a better future. But is he ready to bury the past?
Rich with dark humor and a keen insight into the human condition, this debut fictional release from author Brent Jones delves into life's most pressing trials—destructive relationships, love, loss, and pursuing happiness.
Available in print, audio, and eBook formats.
I really enjoyed [The Fifteenth of June]. …characters are colorful, their choices and stories stark at times, yet I found myself empathizing, gaining insight as to how people’s early circumstances often lead them to live lives that seem out of their control. A compelling story of healing and transformation.

While the plot follows a deceptively simple story line . . . [The Fifteenth of June] is richly layered in questions of identity, familial bonds, and the propensity for individuals to change direction and forage a new fate.
