Even in the new neighborhood though, other boys attacked Wes and his friends while they played football. When the eight-year-old boy grabbed a knife to go fight back, he was arrested. It's clear that his neighborhood is not a safe and protective home for him.

Author Wes Moore's mother decides to move back to the Bronx from Maryland after her husband dies. His mother tells them about all the wonders that are available in the Bronx, like the zoo. However, once they get there, they can tell that the Bronx has changed and is less safe than before. The author looks back into the past and tells the story of his grandparents, who moved from the Caribbean to the United States.

Overall, the chapter's title is significant because it talks about both Wes Moores's search for a home and the author's family's search for the same.
