Now in paperback, a "piercing and beautiful" (Domenica Ruta) memoir
about one woman's road to hope following the death of her troubled
brother, told through the series of cars that accompanied her
Growing up in a blue-collar family in the Midwest, Melissa
Stephenson longed for escape. Her wanderlust was an innate reaction
to the powerful personalities around her, and came too from her
desire to find a place in the world where her artistic ambitions
wouldn't be thwarted. She found in automobiles the promise of a
future. From a lineage of secondhand family cars of the late '60s,
to the Honda that carried her from Montana to Texas as her new
marriage disintegrated, to the '70s Ford she drove away from her
brother's house after he took his life (leaving Melissa the truck,
a dog, and a few mix tapes), to the VW van she now uses to take her
kids camping, she knows these cars better than she knows some of
the people closest to her. Driven from grief and toward hope,
Melissa reckons with what it means to lose a beloved sibling.
Driven is a powerful story of healing, for all who have had to look
back at pain to find the way forward.
