DENISE M. WILMS

[Dicey's Song] details Dicey's settlement into adolescence and a new life with Gram…. The story is a perceptive exposition of two strong personalities, Dicey and Gram, neither of whom is perfect but both of whom learn powerful lessons in reaching out and accepting love…. The vividness of Dicey is striking; Voigt has plumbed and probed her character inside out to fashion a memorable protagonist. Unlike most sequels, this outdoes [Homecoming] by being more fully realized and consequently more resonant. (p. 50)

Denise M. Wilms, in a review of "Dicey's Song," in Booklist, Vol. 79, No. 1, September 1, 1982, pp. 49-50.
