500    "For fans of Wild, a searing memoir about one woman's road

520    "A searing memoir about one woman's road through 
       heartbreak 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--a dreamer and budding writer born with
       an innate wanderlust--longed for escape, and she found in 
       automobiles the promise of a future beyond Indiana state 
       lines. From a lineage of secondhand family cars of the 
       late '60s, 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 mixed 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 through grief and toward hope, Melissa reckons
       with what it means to lose a beloved sibling, with a voice
       as achingly beautiful as it is raw. Driven is a powerful 
       story of healing, for all who have had to look back at 
       pain to find the way forward."--Dust jacket.
