I didn't like this story at all. There is always a character in O'Connor's stories that think they know better only to find that they've made a situation worse.
The grandmother in this story is the guilty party in this case. She hounds, complains, nags, whines, and resorts to lying when she realizes she won't get what she wants.
Her son and daughter in law, and her two grandchildren were going on a road trip to Florida, she wanted to go to Tennessee. Her son Bailey, who didn't seem pleased with much sped through places she wanted to look at. She was narrating the trip and getting on everyone's nerves.
Finally she remembered a house that she wanted everyone to visit, no one wanted to go, so she lied and said it was a big house with secret panels. Now the children are begging to go, and their father angrily agrees and the grandmother points out the road, even though in reality there are no secret panels and she just remembered that the house is in Tennessee. By this time they have an accident in a ditch and the men who arrive to help them are criminals. Especially the one and only escaped convict the Misfit. I think the grandmother learns she that she shouldn't be so selfish, but it was too late.
