The story
Rosa Lynn Sinclair, an elderly woman, lives in a Chicago housing project with her daughter Loretta and her two grandchildren, four-year-old Tracy (who is autistic) and thirteen-year-old Thomas.
Before they depart, Rosa Lynn pawns a silver candelabrum, a family heirloom they refer to as "Nathan," the name of their slave ancestor.
Earl, a wise man of few words, welcomes the trio to his home in rural Mississippi.
