Grandpa Jefferson

Grandpa Jefferson is Alex Jefferson's practical, stubborn grandfather and a lifelong farmer. He eats early, repairs almost anything with duct tape, plays horseshoes, and has little patience for Alex's video games. Beneath his gruff habits, Grandpa treasures his wife and the land that holds decades of memories. A buried box preserves reminders of his high-school friends and the pruning shears that helped lead him into farming. As old companions pass away, he wrestles quietly with change and loss. He secretly sells his cows to fund the Alaska trip Grandma has always wanted, while she protects the farm he loves. Their affectionate arguments help Alex recognize the generosity hidden beneath Grandpa's complaints and old-fashioned rules.
