Contemporary North American novel

One man. One road.

One silence impossible to escape.

He drove to put distance between himself and the rest of the world.
But some things travel with us.

✦ Exclusive bonus for the first 100 orders

What if the road doesn’t lead
where you think it will?

Johnny travels the frozen miles of the North to the sprawling highways of the South. He hauls freight. He hauls memories.

From Austin to the shores of Ogunquit, every stop reminds him that running away is not the same as leaving.

And when the landscapes begin to blur into one another, the thoughts grow louder. Then one day, the road stops being a refuge. It becomes a mirror.

Johnny is more than a novel about what a man carries inside him.

A Taste of the Road


Sitting in his old truck, Johnny watched the horizon turn gold. The engine hummed softly beneath his hands. He had driven thousands of miles. And yet, something inside him remained still.

The radio spoke of a world always in motion. He wondered whether he was really moving at all.

The road had always seemed endless. But for the first time, he was no longer sure where it was taking him.
