American Nomads — N.L. McLaughlin

Following a group of free-spirited train hoppers, American Nomads is a gritty, deep dive into both the dark and light sides of life without rules or limitations. Years ago, scared and alone, two young runaways met under a bridge in Austin. It was on that night that Finn and Teague formed the bond that would be the foundation for a tight-knit family of outcasts, misfits, and vagabonds. Theirs is a life free of rules, limits, or expectations. An endless adventure riding the rails from one place to another. For Finn, everything is perfect; the nightmares of his past are finally behind him. He has a family, adventure, and love. Then one day, tragedy strikes, kicking off a series of events that sends him on a journey straight into the belly of his own personal hell. Old demons resurface, peeling back the veil, exposing deeply hidden scars. As he struggles to hold on to everything he loves, Finn slowly discovers the truth that no matter how hard you run, you will never outrun your past.
