Some men run from danger. Others walk straight through hell and come out the other side with stories that need to be told. In Rough Roads and Reckonings: Confessions of a Bad Good Guy , “Buffalo” Brent Peterson pulls back the curtain on a life lived in the margins—part outlaw, part protector, all heart. From bar fights and biker gangs to backwoods hideouts, bounty hunting, and the razor’s edge of survival, this memoir reads like a high-octane thriller with the soul of a redemption story. But behind the adrenaline is something deeper: a man shaped by loss, held together by love, and ultimately transformed by the quiet power of family, forgiveness, and spiritual awakening. Whether it’s facing down a hitman, outsmarting a corrupt system, or holding his wife’s hand through the darkest goodbye, Brent’s journey is raw, real, and unforgettable. Told in a voice as weathered and honest as the man himself, Rough Roads and Reckonings: Confessions of a Bad Good Guy is about more than grit and scars. It’s about keeping hope alive when the world gives you every reason not to. It’s about doing better—even if you’re late to the game. And it’s about leaving something good behind. This is one man’s wild, true story. And it might just change how you see your own.
