Promises to Keep by Ann Tatlock.

Eleven-year-old Roz Anthony and her family have just moved to Mills River, Illinois, to escape an abusive situation. Only days after settling into their new home, they find the previous owner, Tillie Monroe, on their front porch reading the newspaper. Though her sons have sent her to a facility for the aged, she is determined to die in the place she lived her life, and finds her way "home" day after day. Feeling sympathy for the elderly woman, Roz's mother allows Tillie to move back in. When danger stalks the Anthonys, Tillie exhibits unimaginable courage and selfless love in her determination to protect the family she has adopted as her own.
