Trust In Me

From Booklist
The Outlaws, a gang of teenage hoodlums, have grown up. Linc, the leader, is now a minister, but his love for his high-school sweetheart, atheist Margo, has never died. Linc's sister, Beth, is the widow of racecar driver Danny. Tucker, the driver many people (including himself) feel is responsible for Danny's death, has been asked by the town council to use his fame to revitalize NASCAR's interest in the area. And Linc's former best friend, Joe, who's been divorced by his wife because of his physical and mental abuse, is back in town, rehabilitated but filled with guilt. Inextricably connected as restless youth, their lives become intertwined once again, and these are characters readers will care about. Linc is a human and humane preacher in the tradition of Emilie Richard in The Dragonslayer, and his chats with God run the whole gamut of feelings, particularly concerning Margo. This powerful tale of redemption, friendship, trust, and forgiving shows once again that Shay knows how to pack an emotional wallop. Shelley Mosley

“I don't know how I missed this author before, but she's on my automatic-buy list now. What a great book. Controversial subjects handled in a sensitive and yet honest way--characters that just walked off the page, real and warm. The story just kept coming. A heart toucher, about problems that really happen with no easy solutions. Wonderful! Don't miss!” An Amazon customer

“This is definitely another hit for Kathryn Shay. The story is well written and easy to follow…it involves some very deep issues which some authors may not cover quite as well as Shay does.
