Chapter 1

THE OLL PICKUP HIT A POTHOLE WITH A BUMP THAT SHOOK A FEW more flakes of
faded blue paint from the rusted body. Joe Danner swore, but not aloud.
He hadn't used bad language for six years, not since he found his Lord
Jesus in the mesmeric eyes of a traveling evangelist. He hadn't used
hard liquor nor tobacco either, nor laid a hand on his wife in anger
only when she talked back or questioned his Scripture-ordained authority
as head of the family.
