Travel a metaphorical journey in a little red car, along with a mother and the daughter she hopes to empower through life's difficulties. As Nellie flies over bumps, maneuvers around corners, and scrambles up hills in the little red car, her mother is always there to remind her about the importance of trying. But then, suddenly, Mother is gone and Nellie must face a steep, jagged mountain alone. Through her grief and despair, she remembers her mother's most important piece of advice, and through it finds an even greater source of strength.
