The Blue Car

The sun shines brightly in a cloudless sky on the day that a blue car pulls up to young Sarah's home. Two men, aided by her father, hustle her mother away without a word, leaving a stunned Sarah staring after them. Thus begins Sarah's journey into a world of secrets, a world of great responsibility and little guidance. Along the way, "The Blue Car," set in western North Carolina in 1952, explores when to keep a promise and when to break it, and whether people can really change. Book club discussion questions included.
