(2) 4-6 After losing his wife and moving in with straight-shooting narrator Jaynell's family, Grandpap purchases a 1962 convertible and allows a "white trash" family to move into his empty house. Then there's the secret of Grandpap's past, the truth of which becomes important when he dies, leaving his car and his homeplace as legacies. In sorting out who gets what, Holt finds a way for feisty Jaynell and her family to "soar to the moon."
