In Daring to Drive: A Saudi Woman’s Awakening, published last week by Simon & Schuster, al-Sharif recounts her participation in the movement to let women drive and her encounter with the Saudi secret police.

But as they cover the dusty miles together in Finn's beloved 1967 Chevy Impala, long-held resentments begin to fade, and Honor and Rusty struggle to come to terms with the loss they share. Rusty is the last person Honor wants to be with-he's cocky and obnoxious, just like Honor remembers, and she hasn't forgiven him for turning his back on Finn when he enlisted. At the last minute, she's joined by Rusty, Finn's former best friend. Devastated, she interprets his note as a final request and spontaneously sets off to California to fulfill it. A devastating loss leads to an unexpected road trip in what Sarah Ockler calls a "beautiful, engaging journey with heart, humor, and just a pinch of Texas sass.” Three days after learning of her brother Finn's death, Honor receives his last letter from Iraq.
