Quote #4
During those first few awful months after Mom married John I think I would have shriveled up and died if I hadn't been able to escape every weekend to Grandma's house. (4.14)
The change in Zoey's home life—when her mom married the step-loser, John—was so drastic that it really seems to have turned her life upside down. Luckily she was able to go visit her loving grandma pretty frequently and reinstate some feeling of normalcy in her life.
Quote #5
I did, and then felt a little jolt of surprise when I realized that I was sitting on my cool hot-pink and green Ralph Lauren comforter from home. (8.63)
Since Zoey basically ran away from home in order to get to the House of Night so the Change wouldn't prematurely kill her, she wasn't expecting to see her old stuff in her new room. Luckily her grandma was looking out for her, and she braved Zoey's mom's wrath to bring Zoey some of her things.
Quote #6
I closed my eyes and thought about the magic that seemed to surround me, and then I sent up my wish into the night. My secret wish is that I belong… that I have finally found a home no one can take away from me. (15.88)
During Zoey's first time at a ritual devoted to Nyx, she's encouraged to make a wish/prayer. Her wish obviously revolves around fitting in, since that is really important to her (along with a lot of teenagers). But she also phrases it in terms of home: She doesn't just want friends who accept her, she wants a place where she belongs. And she wants that place to be stable, not something that can vanish in an instant.
