It's still true that their mother has abandoned the four Tillerman children somewhere in the middle of Connecticut. It's still true they have to find their way, somehow, to Great-aunt Cilla's house in Bridgeport, which may be their only hope of staying together as a family. <P> But when they get to Bridgeport, they learn that Great-aunt Cilla has died, and the home they find with her daughter, Eunice, isn't the permanent haven they've been searching for. So their journey continues to its unexpected conclusion -- and some surprising discoveries about their history, and their future. 213788 book 1973 Homecoming (Tillerman Family, #1) total:2499|5:875|4:969|3:490|2:128|1:36| 2499 10016 3119 278 12125 0689851324 9780689851322 2312 247 4.01 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166491949m/12125.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12125.Homecoming 5 7 false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1989 Sat Jan 26 14:21:35 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 30 17:41:49 -0800 2008
