Synopsis
In the story line, the Prays, living in the American Midwest during the Great Depression, are determined to get rich by any questionable means necessary. Among other activities, Moses (sometimes called "Moze") fraudulently sells Bibles, claiming to be a representative of the non-existent "Dixie Bible Company." Addie's late mother was a friend of Moses's, and because Addie believes that she resembles Moses, she is therefore convinced that he is her father.
