Ivy is a transplanted Southern belle-the daughter of a car salesman- who continually wonders how she has ended up a New Jersey stay-at-home mom with a not-so-secret fear of driving. Her husband Ellis was a stand up comedian when they met, and the owner of that '74 Mustang, but his ambitions were overshadowed by the responsibilities of a family. In the blink of an eye he became a PR executive with a mortgage, two kids, and a Buick LeSabre.The cars steer us from their first meeting, to their first fight, and down the line to a family funeral. Finally, it's on a drive along the Pacific Coast Highway that Ivy and Ellis come to some serious and illuminating realizations about their lives. With insights that alternate between hilarious and profound, Galant provides a unique, unforgettable portrait of a marriage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737868960032,"sku":"NEW0312584199","price":25.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61-VvuiwdmL.jpg?v=1779576303","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/cars-from-a-marriage-a-novel-0312584199","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
