"Dicey began to panic. The four of them had been waiting in the car for hours now. Why wasn't their mother back? Why had she just walked off like that? What would they do if she never came back? Dicey had known for a while that something was not right with her mother. There wasn't anything she could put her finger on, but when Mamma said goodbye to them that day in the supermarket car park, Dicey knew that she wasn't coming back. And so Dicey, as the eldest, plans to lead the three others halfway across America to their aunt -- on foot. And the story of how they reached their destination and what they found there is one of the most gripping in children's literature; it is the story of one child's courage against impossible odds, and of a determination to find a home that never lets up. Homecoming, the first in a series of seven wonderful novels, is a must for any reader, young or old."@en

"For thirteen year old Dicey Tillerman, and her brothers James (10), Sammy (6) and sister Maybeth (9), home has always been a little wooden house out in the dunes near Cape Cod. The children have their mother's maiden name - Tillerman - because their parents never married. Their father walked out on their mother before Sammy was born, and only Dicey retains any memory of him. Their mother is a "sad, moon-faced woman", who worked herself too hard to take care of her four children and make ends meet. The novel begins one summer when the Tillerman children find themselves alone in their car, some miles from their home, in a shopping mall parking lot in Peewauket, their mother had bundled the kids into the car in the middle of the night and driven them away from home, without saying where they were going.
