When Momma abandoned Dicey Tillerman and her three siblings in a mall parking lot she left the four Tillermans no choice but to get on by themselves. They set of alone on foot across hundreds of miles until they finally found someone to take them in. Gram's rundown farm isn't perfect, but they can stay together as a family-that's all Dicey really wanted.
But after watching over the others for so long, it's hard for Dicey to know what to do now. Her own identity has been so wrapped up in being the caretaker, navigator, penny counter, and decision maker that she's not sure how to let go of some responsibilities and still keep a sense of herself. And when the past comes back with devastating force, Dicey sees just how necessary-and painful-letting go can be.
