For this month we will be reading The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles. In June 1954, after serving fifteen months for involuntary manslaughter, 18-year-old Emmett Watson returns to Nebraska. With his parents gone and the family farm lost, Emmett plans to take his younger brother, Billy, to California for a fresh start. However, upon his release, he finds two friends from the work farm stowed away in the warden's car trunk. They've devised a different future for Emmett, leading them all on an unexpected journey to New York City.
