Summary:

With her mama recently dead and her pa out of the picture since her birth, big sister Amelia is suddenly in charge of her younger brother and sister - and the family gas station. Harley Blevins, local king and emperor of Standard Oil, is in hot pursuit to clinch his fuel monopoly. To keep him at bay and her family out of foster care, Melia must come up with a father - and fast. And so when a hobo rolls out of a passing truck, Melia grabs opportunity by its beard.
