In the tradition of Big Fish, a poignant and eccentric novel about fathers, sons, and the power of stories to change the way we see the world?and the people?around us.When he was a younger man, Alistair McPhee was fond of escaping in his trusty 56 Chevy Bel Air, Lucy, named for the cherished wife who died when their son Colin was only nine. Colin, yearning for a way to connect to his itinerant father, turned to writing screenplays inspired by the classic films they used to watch together, while Colins own son, Finn, grew up listening to his grandfather spin tales of danger, heartbreak, and redemption on the road. Now on his deathbed, Alistair charges his grandson: bring Lucy to him.

A powerful and moving achievement, Drivers Ed
