Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles

I thought I was going on a road trip cross country on the Lincoln Highway, but I instead embarked on a journey with these characters. Each boy looking for a fresh start, a new adventure, or a place they could belong. Instead of making the journey from New York to California, as intended, they make a detour along the way to Nebraska and back to New York City. The teenage boys, each working to do the right thing, run into obstacle after obstacle.

This book was about heroes, not only the fictional heroes in Billy’s books, but real life heroes you meet along the way. I loved this novel and where it took me as the reader. I felt a connection to both the story and the characters.
