Alison Durst has been mourning the death of her husband for two years. Living with her sister, Sarah, and her brother-in-law, Bill, Alison is unable to move on with her life or move back to her house. But now she has promised Sarah and Bill that she will start over, as soon as she renovates the nearly ruined 1976 Corvette rusting in her sister's garage. The trouble is, Alison knows nothing about cars. Then a cute demolition man offers help. Well-written, with subtle humor, and a surprising ending.
