Homecoming by Cynthia Voigt.
I read it for a reading project. It was a good book Here a summary from some site. QUOTE Dicey, James, Sammy and Maybeth Tillerman are abandoned by their mentally ill mother in the family car outside a mall. They walk from the eastern edges of Connecticut to Bridgeport where they have an address for Aunt Cilla, their nearest known relative. That trip is an urban survival story and the children sleep in parks and abandoned buildings, fishing and clamming when possible along the shore. Their resources are depleted, however, when two college students rescue them and drive them to Aunt Cilla's house, but Aunt Cilla has been dead for several months. Her daughter, Cousin Eunice accepts them as a duty but tries to split them up. To stay together they continue their journey to Chesapeake Bay where their mother's mother, a woman they know only as a name, lives. This leg of the trip is longer and equally arduous but, thanks to the help of some kids and a circus, they arrive at the home of Abigail Tillerman, their grandmother Gram first allows and then accepts and then loves them.
The novel is an odyssey and the main theme seems to be the importance of family ties. This is the first in a series of novels about the Tillerman family. Others include: Dicey's Song, A Solitary Blue, The Runner, Sons from Afar, and Seventeen Against the Dealer. |
