Summary

In her minivan, "Minnie," E.A. Hanks retraces a road trip she once took with her mother to better understand the complicated woman who gave her life. Following her mother's diaries and her own memories, Hanks uncovers both wonderful and darker, more violent secrets that raise more questions than answers. Traveling from White Sands National Park to New Orleans, the Texas-Mexico border, and the Florida panhandle, she meets diverse people and confronts her past, memories, and identity. Ultimately, Hanks explores how the stories of the places we come from shape the stories of who we are.
