Description
The debt has not yet been repaid to the company. He wants to start over and has a highway of possibilities ahead of him… ******************* After serving his time in a correctional facility, the juvenile Emmett Watson is taken home to Nebraska. However, the bank has seized his late father's farm, and he, along with his little brother Billy, must clear the fields. Fortunately, a gray-blue Studebaker is still parked in the barn, in which Dad hid three thousand dollars as a start for his son's better future. Emmett intends to invest it in carpentry in Texas, but the know-it-all Billy convinces him to search for their mother in California, who left the boys at a young age. Just then, the dimwit Woolly and the dog Duke show up – Emmett's fellow inmates on the run secretly arrived in the trunk of a police escort vehicle and claim they will share an inheritance stored at Woolly's wealthy family's cottage near New York. So, West or East? ******************* Amor Towles takes us through America in June 1954, which still clings to a polished Sinatra and overlooks prejudices, even though along Lincoln Highway it is already evident that rock and roll, Kerouac, and Rosa Parks will speak up. And since the former 'main class' of the USA is also lined with wild preachers, acknowledging runaways, and other figures, the quartet of boys is in for a schooling…
