Back Home

Eight-year old Ernestine lives with her family in a city up North. But for her, "back home" is Lumberton, North Carolina, the place where she was born and where her mama grew up. From the moment she steps off the Silver Star at the train station, Ernestine feels right at home. The countryside's the greenest she has ever seen, and the earth is warm enough to wiggle your toes in. Best of all, there's the family farm, where she visits with Uncle June, Aunt Beula, and cousin Jack. There is so much to see and do, and a pair of Mama's old overalls to wear! But then Cousin Jack begins to tease her about her "citified" ways, and she wonders if they can ever be friends.
