Feast for thieves
Book Description
When war hero Sergeant Rowdy Slater returns from the battlefields of World War II, he discovers that surviving combat was only the beginning of his greatest challenge. This skilled but rebellious paratrooper from the elite 101st Airborne finds himself in an unexpected role that will test every fiber of his character.
Circumstances lead Rowdy to the dusty town of Cut Eye, Texas, where he becomes the unlikely minister of a small community church. The local sheriff, unconvinced that this former soldier has truly reformed, presents him with a stark ultimatum: prove his transformation by serving faithfully as the town's spiritual leader for one full year, or face imprisonment.
What initially appears to be a manageable assignment becomes increasingly complex when a figure from Rowdy's troubled past arrives with schemes that threaten to unravel everything. Bound by an old debt he cannot escape, Rowdy must navigate the treacherous waters between his former life and his newfound calling.
Set against the backdrop of post-war America, this compelling narrative explores themes of redemption, second chances, and the possibility of genuine transformation. As Rowdy struggles to lead a congregation while confronting his own demons, readers witness a powerful journey of spiritual awakening that asks whether anyone can truly leave their past behind and embrace a different path forward.
