Describe and explain how the entire family becomes reunited in New York City.

Mobility is repeated once again in this section. However, instead of Rex determining when and where the family will move, Jeannette and Lori take control. They become the heads of the household and rescue their own siblings from undesirable conditions in Welch. The children must "escape" from under their parents and the stifling community of Welch. The sacrifices Jeannette and Lori make--staying up until early morning to complete posters, working long hours--remind the reader of the sacrifices Rex and Rose Mary seldom made for their family.
