Single mum Emma and her daughter Lola enjoy exploring the world together and Clancy Goes To France is a story about one of their most inspiring yet challenging journeys.

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.

Clancy Goes to France is a great book for those who enjoy travel and appreciate the fragility of life. We find that the innocence of childhood is captured beautifully where Emma writes from the heart about three year old Lola and being a single parent.

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.
