DICEY'S SONG
Their Momma disappeared. The journey from Massachusetts
to Maryland that summer meant survival for the Tillerman children, Dicey,
James, Sammy and Maybeth.
Dicey was very responsible for a girl of thirteen. She
got them there because she was good at doing what needed to be done without
giving it a whole lot of thought. James was the thinker, Sammy was a handful
and Maybeth was "slow" but a delight. The long difficult road, Dicey hoped,
was ending. When they reached their destination in the Chesapeake Bay area
of Maryland, they were welcomed by a Grandmother they knew nothing about
and a family history which was buried deep down in Gram.. Dicey hoped everything
would be easier now, she was exhausted. They needed a home.
It is not any one single problem that Gram and Dicey had
to face, but a cluster of people and events that would allow them the genuine
strength of character and family that embraces you throughout this book. |
