Edna Spalding is left to raise her children alone and maintain the family farm in Waxahachie, Texas. The bank has a note on the farm and money is scarce; the price for cotton is plummeting and many farms are going under. A drifter and handyman, a black man by the name of Moses, appears at her door one night, asking for work. Edna declines to hire him due to some of her own racism but offers him a meal and sends him on his way. The story ends with community and in the midst of prayer.
