The Preacher Wore Black Leather

Matt Maxwell wondered a lot about changing his first name to Former: Former Marine. Former minister. Former husband. One by one, he'd lost them all. After losing his wife to his church deacon, he'd packed his battered military duffel, gassed up his ancient motorcycle, and put Baltimore in the Harley's rearview mirrors. 

On an unusually cold and snowy Texas night, the Sportster breaks down along the Interstate. Out of luck and nearly broke, Matt's lured by a bright red sign that reads SUNDOWN DINER. Inside, he meets the owners, the town's three-man sheriff's department, and a mechanic who thinks he can fix the old bike. 

Icy weather and the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday make that impossible, and Matt finds himself stranded in Reliable, where everyone seems determined to keep him from the road to anywhere that isn't Baltimore. 

Once the Harley is roadworthy, will he put Reliable behind him? Or does God have other plans for the down-on-his-luck pastor?
