Read Back Roads Storyline:

"One day you're that guy who's happy he managed to survive high school and get that almighty piece of paper, and you're thinking you might try to get a job at Redi-Mix concrete where your dad's worked since the beginning of time. And at least you've got a family you can stand even if they are all sisters.Harley Altmyer should be in college drinking Rolling Rock and chasing girls. He should be freed from his closed-minded, stricken coal town, with its lack of jobs and no sense of humor. Instead, he's constantly reminded of just how messed up his life is.With his mother in jail for killing his abusive father, Harley is an
orphan with the responsibilities of an adult and the fiery, aggressive
libido of a teenager. Just nineteen years old, he's marooned in the
Pennsylvania backwoods caring for his three younger sisters, whose
feelings about him range from stifling dependence to loathing. And once
he develops an obsession with the sexy, melancholic mother of two living
down the road, those Victoria's Secret catalogs just won't do the trick
anymore. He wants Callie Mercer so badly he fears he will explode. But
it's the family secrets, the lies, and the unspoken truths that light
the fuse and erupt into a series of staggering surprises, leaving what's
left of his family in tatters. Through every ordeal, the unforgettable
Harley could never know that his endearing humor, his love for his
sisters, and his bumbling heroics would redeem them all.
