The Pastor’s Wife Wears Biker
Boots
by Author Karla Akins
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Pastor’s wife, Kirstie Donovan, lives life in a fishbowl, so when she hops
on the back of a bright pink motorcycle, tongues start to wag at the
conservative, century-old First Independent Christian Community Church of
Eels Falls.

Eels Falls.
Kirstie loves roaring down a road less traveled by most women over forty,
but she’s not just riding her bike for the fun of it. Kirstie has a
ministry. However, certain church members have secrets to hide, and when
God uses Kirstie’s ministry to fill the pews with leather-clad, tattooed
bikers, those secrets could be exposed…and some will stop at nothing to
hide the truth.

Join Kirstie and her motorcycle “gang”—two church matrons and a mouthy,
gum-smacking non-church member—as they discover that road-toughened bikers
are quite capable of ministering to others, and faith is fortified in the
most unexpected ways.
