Eleven-year-old tomboy Jaynell and her more feminine sister Racine are growing up in the small town of Moon, Texas in 1968. There's never much going on in Moon, so the very colorful characters who live there have plenty of time to know each other's business --- or so they think. Jaynelle and Racine have always been told tales about the Pickens and other poor families who live on the "wrong" side of town --- the girls are told by their momma that they should be wary. But Jaynelle's grandfather has some different ideas. He doesn't stay away from the Pickens; he visits them often. And when Grandpap dies, he even leaves his house to the Pickens. Find out how Grandpap's actions affect Jaynell and her family in Kimberly Willis Holt's follow-up to WHEN ZACHARY BEAVER CAME TO TOWN.
