Jack Lilly needed a job, something to tide him over after college graduation, and his father had just the right idea to keep his son close by his side. Jack could and would work at the car lot. It was the perfect opportunity for Jack to practice his people skills while waiting for the big windfall career job to be thrown in front of him. Owner George Lyle did not like lazy employees. George Lyle also did not appreciate change, so when his daughter, Lotus, arrives on the lot, full of plans to change and improve the car lot, George lapses into a frenzy to undermine his own daughter’s plans. Will George force his loving daughter to drive away or will he accept her industrious plans, while opening his heart to Jack?
Drive Away by William Burpeau is realistic fiction that can be categorized in multiple genres. Written with the layman in mind, Burpeau employs everyday language and relatable descriptions. The evidence of story themes within the novel will attract a multitude of readers. The short chapters appeal to the casual reader who would normally set the book aside when faced with lengthy chapters. Burpeau appears to have a nice grasp on reader diversity as well as marketable fiction. I believe the author has presented an extremely authentic image of the car retail trade in this easy-to-read chronicle of life as a car sales person. Drive Away is a fun read.
