The Lincoln Highway is a fast paced and reflective adventure story centered on three young men from disparate backgrounds, whose incarceration together in a juvenile detention center brings them together on the outside where conflicting motives and moralities set them on a course for collision across the United States. Set over 10 days beginning on June 12, 1954 with the release of Emmett Watson from Salina Juvenile Detention Center, each of the ten sections of the novel constitutes the proceedings of a single day. The ten sections comprise multiple chapters, titled with the name of the character whose experience is the primary focus of that chapter. With the exception of the chapters belonging to Duchess and Sally, which are written in first person, all other chapters are written in third person limited perspective. The sections of the novel begin with the heading of TEN, and progress in descending order through to the novel’s conclusion.
