The Budget Bucket

When Vance steps off the bus into the blistering heat, he doesn't expect his life to change over a beat‑up sedan and a sharp‑tongued old woman named Miss Jenkins. But one deal, one sputtering engine, and one wild ride later, he finds himself behind the wheel of freedom — and maybe something more. The Budget Bucket is a story about grit, humor, and the unexpected ways broken things can drive us forward.
