Summary In this romantic road trip story, a teen girl discovers the value of ordinary objects while learning to forgive her absent father. Ali Collins doesn't have room in her life for clutter or complications. So when her estranged father passes away and leaves her his only prized possession - a 1968 Firebird convertible - Ali knows she won't keep it. Not when it reminds her too much of all her father's 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. There's 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 aren't 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 things - even broken things - are worth saving.
