As the Civil Rights movement reaches the black enclave of Frenchtown in segregated Tallahassee, Elwood Curtis embraces Dr. Martin Luther King's belief that he is as good as anyone. Abandoned by his parents but raised by his grandmother, Elwood is set to enroll in a local black college. However, one innocent mistake lands him in the Nickel Academy, a juvenile reformatory that claims to provide moral training but is, in reality, a nightmarish institution. The sadistic staff abuses the boys, while corrupt officials steal their food and supplies, creating an environment where any boy who resists risks vanishing. Elwood clings to Dr. King's message of love and resilience, while his friend Turner believes that survival requires cunning and avoidance of trouble. The clash between Elwood's ideals and Turner's skepticism leads to a fateful decision with lasting consequences. Their experiences at Nickel Academy, shaped by the horrors of Jim Crow, determine their futures. Based on a real reform school in Florida that operated for over a century and devastated countless lives, this narrative reveals the profound impact of systemic injustice and the struggle for dignity and hope amidst despair.

A searing, post apocalyptic novel destined to become Cormac McCarthy’s masterpiece. A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don’t know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food—and each other.
