Overview

When his daughter started middle school nine miles from home, Jay Gopalan started driving her forty-five minutes each way. By the end of the first year, he realized the car had become something else - the only room in his daughter's life where she had his full attention, and the only room in his life where the world's noise could not enter. Across five school years and two thousand drives, they had conversations about Bitcoin, taxes, the school bus's wheelbase, why Indian films have songs, what a good lie costs, how to walk away from people who take from you, and what to do when you do not know what your body is asking. Some of those conversations changed her. Some changed him. Most changed both. Driving Miss Samy is the record of those forty-five minutes each way - a memoir of an Indian-American father and his teenage daughter, written by a man who realized, somewhere around drive number eight hundred, that the corridor between her house and her school had been the most important place in his life.
