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.

Sobre o Livro

Crescer em uma família operária do Meio-Oeste e a relação com automóveis percorrem a narrativa, desde carros usados dos anos 60 até a van VW que hoje leva os filhos para acampar.

A morte do irmão marca um ponto de virada: Melissa dirige um Ford dos anos 70 após o suicídio e descreve como os veículos entram na tessitura do luto e da rotina diária.

Viagens concretas — da mudança de Montana para o Texas e trajetos cotidianos em um Honda — transformam memórias em direção, enquanto a autora busca reconstruir esperança e cuidado familiar.
