Growing up in a blue-collar family in the Midwest, Melissa Stephenson longed for escape. Cars not only gave her a way to escape the world around her, they also gave her the promise of a future. From the 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, 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. Reflections on cars in her life give Stephenson a way to heal and find courage to move forward.
