她只想要一件事——她一直想要的事。
逃離。
越快越好，永遠不再回頭。
貝芙莉·塔平斯基（Beverly Tapinski）小時候就常常離家出走，但那時她還是個孩子。

她的朋友蕾米（Raymie），她不告而別地離開了她；
還有她的母親蘿達（Rhonda），一個自私只顧自己的人。
貝芙莉不想依賴任何人，
更不想讓任何人依賴她。
但是，不管她多麼努力想要保持距離，
她還是忍不住與身邊的人建立起聯繫——
漸漸地，貝芙莉也開始透過別人的眼睛，重新認識自己。

wanted – what she always wanted. To get away. To get away as fast as she could. To stay away. Beverly Tapinski has run away from home plenty of times, but that was when she was just a kid. By now, she figures, it’s not running away ... it’s leaving. Determined to make it on her own, Beverly finds a job and a place to live and tries to forget about her dog, Buddy, now buried underneath the orange trees back home; her friend Raymie, whom she left without a word; and her mum, Rhonda, who has never cared about anyone but herself. Beverly doesn’t want to depend on anyone, and she definitely doesn’t want anyone to depend on her. But despite her best efforts, she can’t help forming connections with the people around her – and, gradually, she learns to see herself through their eyes. In a touching, funny and fearless conclusion to her sequence of novels about the beloved Three Rancheros, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Kate DiCamillo tells the story of a character who will break your heart and put it back together again.
