What book was this about a girl left alone with younger siblings?

the girl was about 12 or 13 years old, left alone with several younger brothers and sisters, left to care for them. They lived in a cabin in the woods, with a field of lilies or some kind of flowers nearby. There might have been a tv show related to this. Remember reading it in school or at the time that I was in school and if memory serves me right it was 1970s and no doubt out of print now.

What book was this about a girl left alone with younger siblings?
Actually, "Homecoming" was the book by Cynthia Voigt where the kids were left behind. "Dicey's Song" was the sequel.





You may also be referring to the Boxcar Children series.
Reply:Where the lilies bloom...I have always tried to remember the name of that book but your question inspired me to research it...B%26amp;N says


'Set in the Appalachian hills, the story -- narrated by 14-year-old Mary Call -- tells of her efforts to keep her family together and independent after their sharecropper father dies. . .
Reply:I remember a story that might be the one, if not, it is very similar, the name is "Flowers In The Attic".

That's the only book I can think of that is similar to what you're asking for.
