Sixth-grader Margie is used to taking the backseat to her genius younger sister. But after seeing a note from their mother that says "I have to go," Margie puts herself in the driver's seat (literally) to find Momma and bring her back. With heartbreaking determination, the twelve-year-old navigates Kentucky in her father's faithful Ford; she finds not her mother but herself in this affecting story.
