Brothers: It's more than just blood

By Mike Davis

In Brothers, Mike Davis delivers a deeply personal, cinematic novel about the bonds that tie men together-and the spiritual reckonings that test those bonds across distance, blood, and time.
After years of illness and loss, Australian surfboard shaper Adam Gearhart receives a midnight call from his younger brother Chance in California: their nephew, Shawn, is missing-wanted by the law and lost to drugs and violence. Haunted by the ghosts of his past, Adam reluctantly boards a plane to the American desert to help find him.
What begins as a family rescue spirals into an odyssey of faith, redemption, and self-discovery. As Adam and Chance navigate the drug-ravaged wastelands of Arizona and confront a world stripped of compassion, they encounter Dog Ears, a Native American shaman, and his father Gray Wolf, who guide them toward a vision quest neither expected. Through peyote and pain, laughter and revelation, they rediscover not only the lost boy but the sacred brotherhood that has always bound them.
At once raw and luminous, Brothers explores the meaning of kinship, the burden of responsibility, and the mysterious grace that emerges from despair. Written in Davis's signature style-poetic, introspective, and fearless-it fuses realism with myth, surf culture with spirit lore, and modern malaise with ancient wisdom.
From the rainforests of Noosa to the deserts of Flagstaff, Brothers is both road novel and soul journey-a meditation on love, loyalty, and what it means to come home to oneself.
"You can't unlearn being a big brother-and you can't stop being one, even when the world breaks you."
