The Lincoln Highway

Nebraska, 1954. Emmett Hayes walks out of a reformatory with one dream: take his little brother Billy and start a new life in California. But plans change when two escapees from the same institution show up at the family farm. Duchess and Woolly have an inheritance waiting in New York-and a way to get there. Then Emmett wakes one morning to find Billy gone. With them. The train headed east carries four strangers toward an uncertain future.
Duchess carries secrets he won't share. Woolly carries a grandfather's legacy his family tried to steal. Billy carries an old atlas and an unshakeable belief that the Lincoln Highway leads everywhere worth going. By the time they reach New York, they've become something unexpected: a family. But Woolly's inheritance comes with a condition-drive the Lincoln Highway coast to coast, sending postcards from every state along the way.
Now they're heading west with a detective on their trail, a farm foreclosure waiting back home, and a girl named Sally whose letter Emmett keeps folded in his pocket. Two thousand miles of open road stretch ahead. Mountains, deserts, small towns, and diners. People who help and people who hunt. And somewhere in the middle of all that distance, a question Emmett never expected to ask: When the road ends, where does home really lie?The road isn't about where you're going.
It's about who you're with. Turn the page and begin the journey.
