Velva Jean Learns To Drive by Jennifer Niven
Set in the Appalachian Mountains during the 1930s, this coming-of-age tale follows a spirited young girl as she navigates the complexities of family, love, and self-discovery. Growing up in a tight-knit community, she dreams of a life beyond the confines of her small town. As she learns to drive, both literally and metaphorically, she embarks on a journey of independence, challenging societal norms and embracing her own aspirations. Her story is one of resilience, hope, and the pursuit of dreams in the face of adversity.
