Every Sunday, four generations of women take a memorable car ride together. Great-Grandma Mrs. Smith-who everyone calls The Seer-sits in the front seat and tells fantastic stories about their town and their family.
As they drive past peach orchards, old mills, big stone churches, and the sparkling river, Mrs. Smith shares secrets from the past: brave ancestors, talented makers, strong leaders, and people who never gave up-even when times were hard.
With each stop, the youngest girl in the car-the Little Listener-learns something new about history, her family, and herself. She discovers that she comes from strong people, that every road has a story, and that she is full of worth.
Years later, when she grows up, the Little Listener becomes The Driver and tells the same stories to the next generation-because love, hope, and courage should always be passed on.
This heartwarming story reminds kids that the places we come from, the people who came before us, and the stories we tell all help us understand who we are today.
