Baby and the Bank Robber

It's 1920, and a horrible Bald Man just murdered six-year-old Julia Hanover's parents and tried to kill her too. But she manages to escape and is adopted by the Reverend Zebediah Lumpkin, and his wife.

Years pass and now it's 1933 and the Great Depression is in full swing. People are poor, it hasn't rained in Oklahoma in three years, and Bonnie and Clyde are robbing banks all over the state.

And the little girl? The Lumpkins have renamed her Baby Faye Lumpkin and she's pretending to be eleven years old to help them bilk people out of their money. She wants desperately to escape. The problem is, she can't remember who she is and has suddenly begun to have nightmares about a murder she's not sure happened. If only she can find the Bald Man so she can learn the truth.

Then one day she sees a Wanted poster with a picture of handsome bank robber Harry Pleasant, and in the background is the Bald Man. Can Harry lead her to the Bald Man? Maybe, but only if she can find him, which won't be easy since Harry and his lunatic cousins are on the lam from the law. But fortune smiles when bank robber, Harry Pleasant, abruptly walks into her life.

Well, Faye's no dummy. There's Harry-the answer to her dilemma-and there's the trunk of his car...just sitting next to the curb, motor running, waiting for a girl who's pretending to be eleven to hitch a ride with a bank robber.
