Set in the coalfields of Pennsylvania during the Great Depression and inspired by true events, Prosperity Road is a gritty, big-hearted coming-of-age story about loyalty, first love, and standing up to impossible odds.
Fifteen-year-old best friends Henry Valiere and Georgie Cruft rule their small town as leaders of the scrappy “Toe-Nail Alley Gang.” But when a ruthless coal company tightens its grip and hired enforcers terrorize struggling families, the boys are thrust into a fight far bigger than themselves.
Help arrives in the unlikely form of Sean Malone, a hard-hitting prizefighter with a dangerous past. As he mentors the boys, Henry hatches a bold plan to save their starving town—and prove himself worthy of the girl he loves. But as outside threats close in and loyalties are tested, courage will demand a price.
Blending the rough-and-tumble adventure of boys running wild in the woods with the high-stakes tension of a David-and-Goliath showdown, Prosperity Roads delivers cinematic action, rich historical texture, and deeply felt emotion. At its heart, it’s a timeless story of friendship, sacrifice, and the power of ordinary people to stand together when it matters most.

“A wonderfully evocative coming-of-age tale about a young boy’s determination to hold on to all he holds dear…I found myself rooting for these boys from the first page to the last.”
(Lesley Kagen, New York Times bestselling author of Every Now and Then, on Last Summer Boys)
