Publisher Description

A widow in her mid-thirties, Alison has been in mourning for two years. She lives in West Virginia with her sister and brother-in-law, and they are urging her to get on with her life and move back home. Alison promises to leave, just as soon as she renovates a nearly ruined 1976 Corvette rusting in their garage. Problem is, she doesn't know the first thing about cars, and the townspeople, with the exception of a cute demolition man whose idea of a date is taking Alison with him to blow up a grain silo, are completely bewildered by a woman messing with automotive parts.

Alison's Automotive Repair Manual is the powerful story of a woman who must come to terms with her life and discover the strength to overcome her grief.

    " This book was ok. I was surprised a male author took on writing from the perspective of a grieving woman, but he did ok with it. I couldn't identify or sympathize with the main character and I didn't want to be her, so the story didn't engage me. "

    " This book was nice and entertaining. It was interesting to have a man write from a woman's point of view. It was also empowering to read. It made me feel that I could do anything I put my mind to. "

    " Pretty routine - Broken person becomes attached to broken thing (in this case, a car) and proceeds to fix the thing as a metaphor for their life. "
