Chapter Five: The Backstory of Rucker and Miss Mattie Lou Toy, Who Has a Stroke

 In this chapter, Will describes Granny, and talks about the happy relationship Granny had with Grandpa, before she got sick. He tells how and where they met, how they interacted, and how the whole town admired her so. Will shares Granny's thoughts on "modrun" improvements (they would be great, but I can live without them), and how she tolerated Grandpa's stinginess on the matter.

The chapter ends on a very sad note. Granny has just gotten sick, and the doctor says that they'll just have to wait it out, and Will shares the family's initial reaction of despair.
