Where does Lily go first when she leaves home and how does she get there?

• A. A bus station. She took a bus with a random rider.
• B. Jail. She hitchhiked and Brother Gerald drove her.
• C. Rosaleen's house. She walked there with a backpack.
• D. The courthouse. She rode with someone to the city.

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is Lily’s immediate move to escape and find safety, rather than sticking around at home. When she leaves, the story shows her heading toward a place of confinement and danger for both her and Rosaleen, and she gets there by hitchhiking. A passing adult, Brother Gerald, stops and gives her a ride, driving her away from home toward the next stage of her journey. This moment of hitchhiking with Brother Gerald marks the start of Lily’s path to Tiburon and the life-changing events that follow.
