Dicey's Song
The time is now, and the place is the Chesapeake Bay region. Four children begin shaping a new life with their grandmother, each in the way which seems right for that individual. The absorbing sequel to Homecoming is primarily Dicey's story, although the strong characterizations of James, Sammy, Maybeth Gram, and the people they meet enrich the skillfully-crafted novel enormously ©1982 Cooperative Children's Book Center
