Summary "Set in Depression Era Virginia, this is the story of orphaned Amelia and her struggle to keep her siblings together"-- Provided by publisher.
With her mama recently dead and her pa sight unseen since birth, Amelia is suddenly in charge of her younger brother and sister-- and the family gas station. To keep a competitor at bay and keep her family out of foster care, Melia must come up with a father-- fast. When a hobo rolls out of a passing truck, Melia grabs opportunity by its beard.
