On Saturday morning, 13-year-old Dicey Tillerman sits in the car at the shopping mall with her younger sister and two brothers. Momma had said, "You be good." Then she walked away. They wait for a day and a night, but Momma never comes back. Finally, Dicey decides the children should go to Bridgeport, Connecticut where Aunt Cilla lives. Maybe Momma is waiting for them there. But they don't have enough money to take the bus. Determined to keep the family together, Dicey sets off on foot with her siblings in search of Aunt Cilla. Soon, she discovers that finding a home and making one aren't always the same thing. Newbery Award-winning author Cynthia Voigt has captured the hearts of millions of young adults with her poignant tale of a young girl struggling with adult responsibilities. With her glowing narration, Barbara Caruso vividly brings to life each exciting adventure the children experience as they travel in search of a place to call home.©1981 Cynthia Voigt (P)1992 Recorded Books,LLC Difficult Discussions Family Life Fiction Growing Up Growing Up & Facts of Life Literature & Fiction Heartfelt

I first read this book in the 80s as a preteen. Even at that age, I appreciated the obvious thought and care that went into the character development as so many books for young readers seem to be lacking in that area.
This book does move slowly but in a good way; it leaves time to let it soak in and appreciate the surroundings and the warmth that grows.

I was thrilled to find this in audio format; this is a story that has always been with me in the back of my mind since reading it that first time.

I needed a feel good book to listen to while I worked, but something that wasn't so deep that It would take me from my work. (It did, at a few points when I got teared up!)
The charming and genuine feel of the narration was the unexpected cherry on top....in addition to learning that this is the first book in 7 part SERIES! I never knew this. I can't wait to hear the rest!

Heartwarming, a Story that stays with you
