A TODAY SHOW READ WITH JENNA BOOK CLUB PICK, A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK, AND CHOSEN AS A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY TIME, NPR, AND THE WASHINGTON POST
In June 1954, eighteen-year-old Emmett Watson is driven home to Nebraska by the warden of the juvenile work farm where he has just served time for involuntary manslaughter. His mother long gone, his father recently deceased, and the family farm in foreclosure, Emmett’s intention is to pick up his eight-year-old brother, Billy, and head to California, where they can start their lives anew. But when the warden drives away, Emmett discovers that two friends from the work farm have hidden themselves in the trunk of the warden's car. Together, they have hatched an altogether different plan for Emmett's future, one that will take them all on a fateful journey in the opposite direction-to the city of New York.
