Pedro, Reggie, And The ENGLISHMAN

They aren't just drifters.

They're survivors-with stories worth telling.

In a forgotten Southern town where the heat lingers and opportunity is scarce, three men from vastly different worlds find themselves bound together by circumstance, hunger, and an unexpected sense of loyalty.

Pedro, a sharp-witted Mexican immigrant haunted by his past.

Reggie, a street-smart Black man with a quick smile, a guarded heart, and dreams bigger than his surroundings.

Bill Church, a disgraced Englishman clinging to gentlemanly manners while running from a gambler's past.

Together, they form an unlikely brotherhood-scavenging meals from college dumpsters, drifting down dusty back roads, and searching for meaning in baseball fields, small-town churches, and long summer days that refuse to end. As they navigate hardship with humor and quiet resilience, each man is forced to confront who he has been, who he is becoming, and what it truly means to belong.

Pedro, Reggie, and The Englishman is a gritty, heartfelt Southern novel about friendship on the margins, the dignity of survival, and the families we build when the world offers none. Raw, compassionate, and deeply human, this is a story for readers who believe hope can exist even in the most forgotten places.
