Exposition Little Tree, Chapter 1 “Ma lasted a year after Pa was gone. That's how I came to live with Granpa and Granma when I was five years old. The kinfolks had raised some mortal fuss about it, according to Granma, after the funeral. There in the gullied backyard of our hillside shack, they had stood around in a group and thrashed it out proper as to where I was to go, while they divided up the painted bedstead and the table and chairs” pg.1
