Allison Chamberlain is a 40-something horse-and-carriage tour leader in America's oldest city, St. Augustine, Fla. Waiting on God to reveal His calling on her life, she is surprised when He tells her to "buy a Harley Davidson motorcycle." It takes a few times of hearing this before she finally gives in and obeys God.

Following God's calling leads her to the "bad" side of town where drugs and prostitutes are prevalent. Allison decides to help one "lady of the evening" escape this lifestyle. Included in the deal is a 12-year-old boy who craves stability and love, but has never known either. Allison takes the two into her home, which she inherited from her childhood nanny.

More women hear about this haven and danger follows when the men who control them fight back. But with the help of her "angels on Harleys," Allison finds success in rescuing women and setting them on a new path in life.

The first in best-selling author Nancy Rue's new trilogy--"The Reluctant Prophet" series--is a hopeful book that reminds believers that they don't always know what is around the corner when God is directing, but it may even change the life of an entire community.
