A Novel — A daughter of the highway comes home to bury the past — and digs up a story instead.

$24.99

When her estranged father dies, archive clerk June Calloway inherits a box of unsent letters and a car with 200,000 miles on it. She drives the back roads he drove — six states, eleven towns — returning each letter to its address and collecting the pieces of the man she never knew.
