Can a 1983 Volvo really help a man find faith? When Brandon Polson was thirteen, a drunk driver upended his life. Years later, the physical and emotional scars still linger. Now in his early twenties and starting a new career in California, Brandon finds himself plagued by anxiety, desperately searching for God's presence—and a reliable car. Enter Rusty: a dilapidated, unreliable 1983 Volvo inherited from his uncle. Brandon is convinced his luck has run out. Every breakdown reawakens his oldest fears, leaving him lonely and isolated. But when Rusty limps into a local repair shop, Brandon meets Emily. A passionate mechanic with a heart for restoration, Emily might just hold the key to the healing and faith he has been searching for all along. Rusty is a clean, uplifting Christian contemporary novel about trauma, healing, unexpected love, and learning to trust God’s roadmap for your life.
