The April title is The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles (2021) - In June, 1954, 18-year-old Emmett Watson is driven home to Nebraska by the warden of the juvenile work farm where he has just served 15 months for involuntary manslaughter. His mother long gone, his father recently deceased, the family farm foreclosed on by the bank, Emmett's intention is to pick up 8-year-old brother Billy and head to California where they can start their lives anew.
