If You Like Cynthia Voigt Books, You’ll Love…

Homecoming is the first book in the Tillerman Cycle series. The book has a boy named James Tillerman who tells his older sister, Dicey, every morning that “it’s still true.” The it he is referencing is the fact that their mother abandoned them in a mall parking lot in Connecticut. The kids need to find their own way to their great-aunt’s house in Bridgeport. They have little money to spend on food and must do their best to seek shelter while avoiding the authorities. The kids hope to stay together and find someone who will love and care for them, but for Dicey that must be too much hope.

The series continues with Dicey’s Song. The story sees the kids finding a home with Gram which is all Dicey really wanted, but after so long on the road protecting her siblings she is left wondering what to do next. The way she saw herself was completely wrapped up in taking care of the others that she has had trouble keeping a sense of self. Now, their past is coming back with force and Dicey will have to learn how necessary letting go truly is.
