Best Answer

Getting back to home and family in Kansas is the goal of Dorothy Gale, the main character in "The Wizard of Oz" by Lyman Frank Baum (Ma 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919).

Specifically, Dorothy and her pet dog Toto are unable to reach the safety of underground shelter before a cyclone carries their family home, with them inside, all the way to the beautiful, enchanted, magical land of Oz. From the moment that the farmhouse settles in Oz, Dorothy is determined to make her visit as short as possible. Good friends, bad people and perilous adventures notwithstanding, Dorothy never gives up on her dream until it becomes reality, with her and Toto's safe trip back to Kansas.

Dorothy needed to get back to Kansas since she was trapped in Oz and there was a great desert surrounding Oz and none could live to cross it by foot.
