It's 1965. Scout is about to leave behind his small Texas Panhandle town and move to Austin to attend the university. Once there, Scout is pulled into the rich culture of Austin-the capitol, the university, and the people who show him new ways to live. But at the same time, he's pulled back to his hometown by the needs of his family.
Rich with humor, character-driven scenes, a vivid midcentury Texas landscape with rural and city details, and a tense New Mexico rescue, this novel will delight readers who recall the Austin of the 1960s and 70s and admirers of coming-of-age, literary fiction, and Americana. Pearl Street is about a time and place almost forgotten. If you like Larry McMurtry, Pearl Street will remind you how one moment-one diploma, one duffel bag, one phone call-can set a life in motion.
