The mother and daughter duo take on a challenge to drive 3,000 miles in a classic car with 1 Million KM on the clock having learned the news Emma's father had decided to sell his beloved Peugeots owing to a deterioration of his multiple sclerosis and the onset of prostate cancer. The news of his decision was numbing for Emma and feeling somewhat helpless she decided to take one of her father's cars, Clancy, to France to raise money for MS and to be able to share her journey with him in a memoir.
She decided to publish the story to further raise awareness and funds for MS and sales of the book contribute to her fundraising efforts on an ongoing basis.

This book is a combination of a France travel memoir and an emotional journey and you are left knowing that for Emma, there simply is nothing more important than her loved ones and the time we have with with them. An inspirational story of a mother pushing through emotional and physical challenges to achieve a dream.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A lovely read. By Julie Haigh I received a free copy of this book from the author for an honest review. I love to read memoirs and about other's travels and this book is a nice mix of those two genres. This book tells of single parent Emma and her little daughter Lola's travels through France on the back roads. Lola's three and she will have her fourth birthday when they are on the thirty-fith day of their trip. They had been planning their trip six months. The trip was for charity and in one of her dad's cars. Her dad suffers with MS. It would be an adventure, she didn't envisage everything would go smoothly, even with all the planning, and that's the whole point, it would be an adventure and she'd just take it as it comes. Clancy is not just an oldish car-he's a forty year old vintage car! Their road trip will cover 3,000 miles. Clancy has already got 1 million km on the clock so she had no worries about him letting her down. Lola knows what's coming, she's excited, she has been on a shorter trip to France before with Emma and Clancy. This is lovely descriptive writing of the area, it sounds idyllic and provides heart warming reading. I always love to read about foods in my reading and in here the author makes it sound yummy, you can almost smell the food. I love this writing about special places they visited. Her father was diagnosed with MS at the age of thirty-nine. Now he has another condition so travelling is much more difficult for him. Although her dad can't go, Emma decides to make the trip, she could take pictures as she goes to show her dad and a money raising idea is born too. This book is well presented and accurate. It provides nice easy reading, very pleasant. She tells about travelling by ferry, they can sleep undisturbed in a cabin as opposed to packed tight in a plane. Entertainment in the evening etc-all this info about the ferry is all good info to me as I've never been on a ferry, I didn't know all of this. All this sounds lovely, a great choice of words, lovely travel writing here. Descriptions of areas sound wonderful. She tells that she had lived in Thailand in the past. I found I was wanting a bit more information about this as she gave a couple of tasters but it wasn't really expanded on much. I found it pleasing the way she talked about the car as if it's a person but then it has been one of the family for years. Heartening to see her attachment to it. Her joy in this trip is beautifully expressed in her writing. Such sweet writing. It's lovely, cosy reading. Lovely detailing about the surroundings. She certainly makes the area sound very appealing in her writing. A very pleasant read which often made me smile. I felt it would have been nice to include a few photos in the book, but, in the kindle edition I had, there weren't any. There's a useful travel info section at the end of the book with routes travelled, where they stayed details etc. My only tiny criticism is it got a little bit repetitive-it's useful sometimes to be reminded later of some details, especially if you read a book over a matter of quite a few days with big breaks, it can just refresh your memory, however, I just felt there were things mentioned again a few too many times; later on I was shouting out "I KNOW!!!!!" at the book. The things I am talking about are the mentions that Clancy has one million km on the clock, reminders of Lola's age, the reasons why she is doing the trip/spending quality time with family etc, and her preference for traditional maps rather than GPS. I enjoyed this book very much and look forward to future books from Emma Herbert about her travels.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. she is very intelligent and inquisitive By Rosalie A delightful saga of Mother and 3 year old daughter traveling in an antique auto through France raising funds for MS. Her father has MS thus her reason for the journey. Keeping mainly to back roads and campgrounds with cabins they travel slowly in the auto named Clancy. The child is amazingly patient for so much traveling, she is very intelligent and inquisitive. Emma is nervous having never traveled this way in the old auto without GPS or air conditioning for the hot days. I found the book to be thoroughly enjoyable and look forward to their next journey.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A travel memoir in France with a difference By FrenchVillageDiaries This memoir about an unusual road trip in France ticked so many of my boxes I couldn’t wait to start reading it.We join Emma, her 3 year old daughter Lola and their 40 year old Peugeot (Clancy) as they make a 3000 mile road trip around France, recording what they see every day to share with Emma’s father whose MS and cancer mean he is unable to return to France. I felt it was a lovely thing to share her experiences while fundraising and raising awareness about MS along the way. I loved the author’s passion for her subject, her determination and her honesty about the ups and downs she experienced and although I’ve read many travel memoirs in France this one really does offer something a bit different.The responsibility on Emma’s shoulders as the only adult in charge of a vintage car, a three year old, plus all the driving, route planning and decision-making made for an exhausting challenge where she often struggled to live up to her own expectations of her dream trip. I think she did a marvellous job and really shouldn’t be disappointed at what they failed to see, as from personal experience no matter how many road trips you take in France, there is always more to see.The pace of the book was good and her descriptions of France kept me interested, but I did struggle a bit with the flow, as I felt there was a lot of unnecessary repetition in the narrative. While this never stopped me wanting to read more, I would have had a more enjoyable read without the sense of déjà vu.What I loved more than anything was Emma’s attitude of seizing the moment and taking the adventure and I couldn’t help feeling Lola is one very lucky little lady to have a Mum like Emma and I hope they continue to travel and make memories together. I also hope that through this book she is able to encourage others to make their own memories.I was sent a copy of this book by the author for an honest review.
