Empire, Nevada

By Frank M. Anderson

Empire, Nevada is a lyrical coming-of-age novel set in a nearly abandoned desert town on the edge of collapse. Paul and his friends--Chief, James, Slim, and Trish--are stuck between childhood and whatever comes next. As one final summer unravels, their friendships are tested by grief, desire, and the quiet weight of survival. With echoes of Looking for Alaska and The Outsiders , this debut captures the raw, poetic ache of growing up in a place no one believes in anymore. For readers drawn to found family, broken landscapes, and the fragile beauty of letting go.
