A transformative novel of the Great Depression, both sorrowful and uplifting, full of impossible-to-forget characters, Nowhere Special to Go follows a young man and his dog as he takes to the rails in search of work and somewhere to belong.

His destiny will await him in a place from his Midwestern roots—Vermont.
