Description

Get swept up in this gripping tale of love, redemption, and the unbreakable bonds of community.

When Jackson "Peaches" Peecher leaves his rural Missouri home to serve in Afghanistan, he and his teenage sweetheart Merene Cory are forced to confront the secrets that have shaped their small town. As the truth about their town's beloved benefactor and his loyal companion comes to light, Peaches and Merene must navigate the complexities of war, terminal illness, and addiction.

Will the power of love and forgiveness be enough to overcome the darkness that threatens to destroy their world? Dive into this speculative fiction novel that explores the eternal struggles of light and darkness, and discover the transformative power of kindness, community, and love.

"Reading The Rambling Man felt like stepping into a bittersweet daydream -- one that celebrates the allure of wanderlust while quietly exposing its emotional toll. As someone who studies the intersection of mobility and mental health, I was struck by the protagonist's solitude, which oscillated between liberation and loneliness. There's a raw authenticity to Reaume's portrayal of rootlessness that left me both envious and unsettled. I found myself underlining passages about the fleeting connections made on the road, which mirrored my own work with transient populations and their struggles for belonging." Goodreads Reviewer
"I really enjoyed reading The Rambling Man by Gabe Reaume. It's a spiritual tale that revolves around a small mining town and its residents, including its own very special Guardian and his little dog Diz. Barnabas was very spry for his age, full of wisdom and overwhelmingly generous. Diz also has an unusually long life span and is remarkably bright and spry. They always show up exactly when and where they are needed-even if it's half a world away.

There is a lot of religious symbolism, but I don't think you necessarily need to be a devout Christian to enjoy the story. It's not preachy and seems to embrace all religions. People of all faiths may enjoy this spiritual tale of good versus evil, with great storytelling and relatable characters. It also carries the messages of redemption, love, and selflessness.

There are some really sad moments, and moments that will make you giggle out loud as you read it. It also has some really touching scenes and holds a real spiritual mystery about Barnabas and Diz and their true identity (but I won't spoil it here).

My favorite chapters were when Barnabas saves the young girl Merene from a drug addled pervert, and of course the chapters about Barnabas' back story. As a classic rock fan I must say that I loved the way they incorporated the titular song Rambling Man by the Allman Brothers in this story.

... I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. A truly enjoyable read."--Reedsy Discovery Reviewer
