"A widow in her mid-thirties, Alison Durst has been mourning the death of her husband for two years. Living in a small town in West Virginia with her sister, Sarah, and 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 - just as soon as she renovates the nearly ruined 1976 Corvette rusting in her sister's garage.
Problem is, Alison does not know the first thing about cars, and the fact that the townspeople (with the exception of a cute demolition man) are bewildered by a woman messing with automotive parts does not help.".
"With frankness and hilarity, Brad Barkley not only mirrors the contents of an auto mechanic's Corvette manual, but also tells the story of a gutsy woman's attempts to overcome loss and fit in in a close-knit community. Alison's Automotive Repair Manual is a triumphant look at grief, love, loss, and moving on."--BOOK JACKET.
