Junie and Elmo were destined to become partners once the blaring horn of an automobile brought them trogether at a busy intersection in downtown Dallas. They thrived until bankruptcy loomed, an event they faced many time in Texas, Wisconsin and Arizona.

Elmo had almost forgotten another son, the aftermath of an interlude long before in San Antonio with Precious. But Chappie, now almost 50 years old, after having been released from prison, again, showes up in Phoenix to claim his rightful inheritance, of which there was precious little to claim.

After Faith Dies, and Elmo becomes older and ill, his three greedy children, in sink with each other suggest that

Elmo pay a visit to a doctor in Michigan who assists aging people.

But Junie intervenes and gets Elmo to help him "Climb that Mountain – one last time." A fortune at last?
