"Homecoming" by Cynthia Voigt follows the journey of four siblings—Dicey, James, and the twins, Maybeth and Sammy—who are abandoned by their mother and must find their way to their estranged grandmother’s house. As they embark on a long, challenging trek through New England, they face various obstacles, including hunger, fatigue, and the need to rely on each other for emotional and physical support. Dicey, the eldest, takes on the responsibility of leading her siblings, demonstrating resilience and determination. Throughout their journey, the children grapple with their family dynamics, identity, and the meaning of home, ultimately discovering strength in their bonds.
