(3) YA When fourteen-year-old Melia's mother dies, Melia knows that the state is going to try to take her brother and sister away, so she recruits a hobo to pass as their father. Meanwhile, local businessman Harley Blevins is trying to run their family service station out of business. Melia's bold voice and hard-boiled judgment ring true against the crisply painted backdrop of Depression-era rural Virginia.
