Case: On a hot summer night in Pewauket, Connecticut, Liza Tillerman abandons her four children, thirteen-year-old Dicey, ten-year-old James, nine-year-old Maybeth, and six-year-old Sammy, in a mall parking lot. With only a change of underwear, socks, a map, and nine dollars, Dicey, James, Maybeth, and Sammy take off on foot to Bridgeport where their nearest known relative, Aunt Cilla, lives. Along the way, Dicey struggles to care for and protect her siblings.

After finally arriving at Aunt Cilla's, Eunice, their cousin, tells them that her mother (their Aunt Cilla) died the previous spring. Eunice consults Father Joseph, the priest from her local parish, who advises that the children may stay, but only temporarily. Eunice tells Dicey and her siblings of Abigail Tillerman, their grandmother, who lives in Crisfield, Maryland. They are informed that the police forwarded some money to the children in lieu of payment for the sale of their mother's car, but Eunice intercepts Dicey accepting it and holds it in her keeping. She also informs Dicey that she has decided to keep her and Maybeth, but that James and Sammy will have to live with some other families. Unable to bear the thought of separation, Dicey decides to take her brothers and sister to their grandmother's house, and slips out into the night with their money. They buy bus tickets to Crisfield, but upon arriving realize they do not know where she lives. Stopping at a nearby store to inquire, the proprietor informs them that Abigail doesn't have a phone and is isolated far out of town and has no way of being contacted. Dicey decides go alone on foot to Abigail's to meet her and assess the situation, leaving James in charge of Maybeth and Sammy.

After knocking on the door and getting no answer, Dicey goes around back to find Mrs. Tillerman sitting on the back porch. Dicey, hiding her identity, asks if she can do anything to help on the farm. Mrs. Tillerman silently marches back into the house before brusquely asking Dicey to join her.

Inside, she questions Dicey about her thoughts on death and other such morbid things in a somewhat belligerent manner. Nettled by her grandmother's tone and attitude, and on the point of getting up to leave, Dicey is revealed by Abigail that Eunice wrote to warn her the children would be coming, and that she is aware who Dicey is. However, she will not let the children stay. Stung, Dicey fires back, stating she doesn't want to stay.
