Homecoming is a book written for young adults reading level, but has such a good story that adults will enjoy it also.

It is about four children that are deserted by their mom and have to find their own way through towns and cities, trying to reach an aunt's house, where they think they will find shelter and safety.

The kids are resourceful and manage this trip with only about $12.00 in their pockets. They entertain themselves during many miles of walking and they try to operate with total integrity. While reading this book, I wanted to pick up the youngest child and hug him!

This book is a good reminder to us that when we help out someone in need, we have no idea what the long term benefits might be.
