Description
A 1950s American road journey sets the stage for a story of family, friendship, and self-discovery. In June 1954, Emmett Watson is driven home to Nebraska after serving time on a juvenile work farm. His intention is to pick up his brother, Billy, and start anew in California. However, two friends from the work farm have other plans, leading to a fateful journey to New York City.
This novel, spanning just ten days, is told from multiple perspectives, offering a rich and multi-layered exploration of its characters and themes. With its stylish prose and propulsive narrative, it's a compelling tale of youth, identity, and the power of human connection.
