Cherry Wagon is a spiritual pilgrimage built for speed. Jack is a young ballet instructor driving warp speed through the night sky in search of his son, Blue.

Fueled by diesel, nicotine and tragedian humility, we navigate the cosmos through his fractured correspondence with "Jane," the only person who "gets it."

What lies ahead on this odyssey are trips down the color spectrum, brief (often comical) meditations on America, and pie.

Cherry Wagon is the lightning quick debut novel by Joseph Matick.
