โฆ Synopsis
In this romantic road trip story perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen and Morgan Matson, a teen girl discovers the value of ordinary objects while learning to forgive her absent father.
A lot can happen on the road from lost to foundโฆ
Ali Collins doesnโt have room in her life for clutter or complications. So when her estranged father passes away and leaves her his only prized possessionโa 1968 Firebird convertibleโAli knows she wonโt keep it. Not when it reminds her too much of all her fatherโs unfulfilled promises. And especially not when a buyer three hundred miles up the Pacific coast is offering enough money for the car to save her childhood home from foreclosure. Thereโs only one problem, though. Ali has no idea how to drive a stick shift.
But her ex-boyfriend, Nico, does.
The road trip gets off to a horrible start, filled with unexpected detours, roadblocks, and all the uncomfortable tension that comes with being trapped in a car with your ex. But when Nico starts collecting items from the quirky strangers they meet along the way, Ali starts to sense that these objects arenโt random. Somehow they seem to be leading her to an unknown truth about her father. A truth that will finally prove to Ali that some thingsโeven broken thingsโare worth saving.
