A Road Less Traveled: Four Boys on an American Odyssey
In June 1954, eighteen-year-old Emmett Watson returns to Nebraska after serving fifteen months at a juvenile work farm for involuntary manslaughter. His plans are simple: pick up his eight-year-old brother Billy and head west to California. Their father has died, the family farm foreclosed, and it's time for a fresh start. But when two escaped inmates-the charismatic trickster Duchess and the sweet, troubled Woolly-arrive hidden in the warden's car trunk, Emmett's carefully laid plans unravel. What follows is a ten-day odyssey where the intended westward journey along the Lincoln Highway becomes an unexpected eastward adventure through the heart of mid-century America. Billy dreams of finding their long-absent mother in San Francisco, while Duchess schemes to collect Woolly's $150,000 inheritance from his family's Adirondack camp in upstate New York. As their journey unfolds, each boy confronts his past while searching for a place to call home in a rapidly changing nation.
