Synopses & Reviews
Camber Berkley, a young stock car driver, wrecks his car on a winding mountain road, landing right in the midst of the funeral of an elderly NASCAR fan. As punishment for his spectacular car wreck, the local authorities of the small Tennessee town of Judas Grove give him a choice: serve three months in jail for reckless driving, or spend two weeks teaching the local ministers to drive stock cars, so that they can compete in race whose prize is the $2 million legacy left by that deceased NASCAR fan.
About the Author
Sharyn McCrumb's first co-authored novel, Once Around the Track, was written with NASCAR driver Adam Edwards, and will be published in April 2010 by the Ingalls Publishing Group. Adam, who was the model for the character Tony Lafon in Once Around the Track, has driven in the ARCA/REMAX national racing series, managed and spotted for a NASCAR Nationwide racing team, and worked as a race car driving instructor at the Fast Track School of Racing. When he gave her technical advice during the writing of Once Around the Track, she suggested that they try to write a novel together, loosely based on Adam's experiences teaching race car driving. Faster Pastor is the result of that collaboration.
