Free Audiobook : So Far Gone, by Jess Walter

Seven years ago, Rhys Kinnick walked away from it all, trading his life as an environmental reporter for a creaky cabin in the woods, far from the noise of a country he barely recognizes. He’s content with his solitude, until his grandkids, Leah and Asher, land on his doorstep with a note from their mom, his daughter Bethany, who’s vanished into thin air. Suddenly, Rhys is back in the world he ditched, and it’s messier than he left it.

With Lucy, his tough-as-nails ex, and Chuck, a loose-cannon retired detective, Rhys hits the road to track down Bethany, dodging danger in a Northwest crawling with oddballs and extremists. Every stop, from shady compounds to offbeat festivals, stirs up questions about family, faith, and what it means to keep fighting when everything feels broken. It’s a journey full of sharp laughs and raw moments, where redemption might just be a long shot.

So Far Gone by Jess Walter, brought to life with vibrant narration, is a darkly funny audiobook that weaves a thriller with heart. This tale of a reluctant hero navigating America’s wild edges will grab you and not let go, delivering hope and humor in a fractured world.
