A Time to Weep (American Century #4 )

While grateful for what they have, the Stuarts have to watch carefully lest times get even harder. When Jerry Stuart goes to Hollywood to join Aunt Lylah, he becomes a stunt pilot, not prepared for the turn his life took. And half a continent away, Uncle Pete is fighting to keep his oil rig out of the hands of the mighty Kingman Oil Company.
