Jeremy Simms watches from the porch of the general store as the weekly bus from Jackson comes through his town.

But Josias and the Logans are black, and in Mississippi in the 1930s, black people can't ride the bus if that means there won't be enough room for white people to ride. When several white passengers arrive at the last minute, the driver sends Josias and Stacey's grandmother off the bus.
