The title of the book is My Mother's Door. This is the story of Monique, Moe for short. Moe's mother worked for BMW, Plant10 in Spartanburg, SC making left rear doors for BMW X3's, and X4's. Moe's mother passes away while giving birth to Moe's baby brother. Moe is very sad. She misses her mother, but then her father brings her mother home, or to her he does. Moe's father brings home a BMW X3 and Moe feels the presence of her mother in the left rear door. Moe describes all the many ways she can feel her mother in the door, and the positive impact in makes in her life. The BMW is totaled in an accident. During the accident Moe can feel how her mother protected her father, baby brother, and herself. Although the car was totaled, none of passengers in the car were hurt. Her father brings home a new X3, but the left rear door of the new X3 does not have her mother's presence. Moe is very angry at this second loss of her mother, and refuses to ride in the car. She is sent to consulors, but no one seems to understand. Finally her father brings a German BMW engineer home to talk with her. She is pleased that at last someone understands. The book ends happily with Moe riding in the new BMW X3, with a rather beat-up left rear door, but although perhaps not as new as the rest of the car, she now rides safe, secure, and happy, beside her mother's door.
