The Education of Luther Pickens: A Novel

By Hubbard Sellers

After four culture-shocked years at a New England college that never quite knew what to make of him, Mississippi punter Luther Pickens graduates and points his beat-up 1978 Chevy Nova south. What should be a straight shot home turns into a breakdown-by-breakdown tour of Appalachia and the Deep South - a West Virginia mechanic's garage, a Kentucky diner counter, a Tennessee truck stop, a Georgia roadside stop, and an Alabama front porch - each one peeling back another layer of everything Luther thought he'd learned about liberty, family, and home. A comic, warm-hearted road novel about the gap between what you're taught and what you actually need to know.
