  In a quiet Southern town where time drifts as slowly as the heat, Jim Powell has earned a name—and not a flattering one. 
  They call him a “Jelly-Bean.” 
  A man who idles. A man who watches life pass him by. 
  Once tied to a respected family, Jim now lingers on the edges of society—haunting garages, street corners, and pool halls—until one unexpected invitation pulls him into a world he no longer belongs to. 
  At a glittering country club party, beneath soft lights and the hum of music, Jim comes face to face with everything he’s lost… and everything he never had. At the center of it all is Nancy Lamar—radiant, reckless, and utterly out of reach. 
  For one fleeting night, chance and courage collide. 
  But by morning, everything has changed. 
  Written in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s signature early style, The Jelly-Bean is a quiet, piercing portrait of class, longing, and the moment a man sees himself clearly for the first time. 
  A story of drifting youth, sudden awakening, and the cost of standing still.
