The opening of the novel introduces Katherine Radford as she yearns for adventure beyond her makeshift schoolroom, where she teaches her younger brothers.

However, after an accident injures her father, Katherine must step up as the family's pillar, taking on the responsibilities of running their store and managing their lives while facing external threats from their surroundings, especially with a rival like Oily Dave lurking nearby. Katherine's fierce love for her family and determination to uphold her father's legacy sets a compelling stage for the unfolding narrative.
