From the back cover
Diceys mother didnt make many explanations. Maybe thats why she didnt explain her mysterious behaviour the night she packed up the whole family and sped off into the night . . . Or why she pulled the car into a shopping center the next morning and just walked away without a goodbye.
Now Dicey, James, Sammy, and Maybeth were stranded in an unknown town, and it seemed that every grownup in the country was against them. That meant ducking authorities, sleeping in cemeteries, and doing anything to keep clear of foster homes. It also meant walking for miles and miles. . . .
But Dicey hadnt given up completely; she knew there must be one adult she could trust. And she figured if she could just keep her brothers and sister together, eventually theyd have their homecoming.
