"A Good Man is Hard the Find" Flannery O'Conner

???
A Story about a Grandmother of yesterday. My grandmother may have had a mother or grandmother just like this one.
Place is Georgia. Time is probably the 50's or 60's. Racism is very apparent toward black people. The grandmother is a white woman from what I gather. She is not aware how bad she sounds when describing things. It was just her upbringing.
The dreaded road trip with grandma in the back seat. The cat naps, old time talk, and the unexplained diarrhea of the mouth.
Grandma convinces her family to take a detour to one off her old stomping grounds which she later realizes she was mistaken and they were in the wrong state from her memory. Traveling down the dirt road into what seemed to be know where they get into a car crash roll over and everyone survives.
A man stops to "aid" them. Turns out he is a character from the grandmothers past.???

To be honest.. I don't know what happened.
A Bobby Lee entered the picture at sometime and now I am thinking it was all planned by the family.
Not sure..
The Misfit is the man she might have had a past with and he ultimately kills the old woman.
Bobby Lee is happy she is dead and... the end.
The writing could be clearer about the characters presented. I don't know who Bobby Lee is?


???

Grandmas dead anyway.
