Second is younger than his brother, Jesus, by decades, and on his way back to college for his year-end violin recital. Jesus, a profes­sional driver, is delivering a package for his boss and giving his kid brother a ride as a favor to his stepmother. Their father, Danger, was a legendary mechanic, a hero and role model to Second—but for Jesus, the relationship had been strained for years. As the miles tick by and the landscape rolls past their windshield, tensions flare and subside. Secrets are revealed and kept close. But ultimately the two brothers find a kind of peace together, and dis­cover the kinship they previously shared only in name.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is a novel about grief and the different ways it can manifest; about family by blood and by choice; about imperfect parents and their imperfect love; and about the surprises awaiting any of us after a long ride in the car and a lifetime of misunderstanding.
