"Although she'd been driving for more than a year, she was still grateful for the freedom she felt each time she slid behind the steering wheel. It was driving that that had helped her cope with losing her sister, being able to point the vehicle in whatever direction she wanted to go." (25)
This quote tells us how she feels when she is behind the wheel and how it helps her cope with the loss of her sister

Response: We believe that Leeza has such a calming influence on Mr. Harrison because she helps to accompany him when he starts to remember his wife Maggie that passed away a year ago. She cares for him and let's him get his mind away from his wife as she speaks to him calmly and feeds him often.
Quote: "'His wife,'said the nurse. 'She was a resident here too. Passed away

she had in her palm a small, round stone smooth as glass "it's a sick-stone". She placed it into Reef's hand and closed his fingers over it "when you feel like you're gonna throw up, just squeeze it hard. It'll take the feelin' away". (33)

I think that leeza manages her pain by being behind the wheel by seeing where different roads take her down different paths to see new things.

"It was driving that helped her cope with losing her sister, being able to point the vehicle in whatever direction she wanted and just go." (24)

I think this is because when she feels free and can take a breath and point the in any direction and go is when she is in her car.

Reef likes rocks because back when he would go on car rides with his grandparents he would get carsick very easily. One time he got carsick and his grandfather was not happy about pulling over for him to throw up so his grandmother gave him a rock to hold on to whenever he feels carsick. After that, Reef and his grandmother collected many rocks and had a collection they would sort through. It was something that made them close.
