Amazon.com reviews:

"Since their mother’s sudden death, sixteen-year-old Carly and her eleven-year-old sister, Jen, have been walking and hitchhiking across the Southwest trying to find Teddy, the closest thing they have to a family. Carly desperately hopes Teddy will take them in and save them from going into foster care—and forgive them for the lies told by their mother. But when the starving girls get caught stealing food on a Native American reservation, their journey gets put on hold. While the girls work off their debt, Carly becomes determined to travel onward—until Jen confesses a terrible secret that leaves both sisters wondering if they can ever trust again. Set against the backdrop of the American Southwest, Walk Me Home and its resilient heroines will inspire readers and renew their faith in recovery and redemption."

"FIVE STARS!!!! After their mother dies, Carly and her younger sister Jen start walking from New Mexico toward California to find their mother's ex-boyfriend -- the only person who Carly loves and trusts. Starving, dehydrated, sunburned and blistered, they are caught stealing eggs by an elderly Native American woman who insists they remain with her to work off their debt. The sisters are soon at odds as one wants to stay and one wants to continue on to California. Catherine Ryan Hyde has done it again. Another heart-breaking and touching story of a troubled and confused teen trying to leave behind a tough childhood to become an adult that she can be proud of."
