Hearsepower - Stephanie Sanders-Jacob

Death is in the driver's seat.

Kayla steals the hearse.

She always steals the hearse.

The 1963 Cadillac is the only thing that still feels like hers-a way to escape the weight of a dying family business and the shadow of her father's death. Behind the wheel, the world goes quiet. Behind the wheel, she almost feels whole.

But lately, the hearse has a mind of its own. The horn blares without warning. Headlights flicker in daylight. The brakes fail at the worst times. And under the hood, something hungry is waiting.

As the engine's curse unravels generations of family secrets, Kayla has to decide what she's willing to sacrifice: her future, her friends, or the only piece of her father she has left.

A haunting, heartfelt story about grief, legacy, and the monsters that run in our blood-Hearsepower drives straight through the heart of what it means to let go.
