(2) 4-6 Mr. Bro. Wiley, a hundred-year-old former slave, has died surrounded by loved ones, namely the family of twelve-year-old narrator Bean Jones. As preparations for the funeral and "sittin' up" commence, readers are introduced to the rural North Carolina community of Low Meadows. It's a rich tapestry that Moses creates, and the reader always feels wrapped in the community's warmth.
