An inspiring story of a 14 year old girl Billie Jo who lives in constant dust storms during the Depression, faces poverty, the death of her mother, the deterioration of her father, and her own physical pain. Billie Jo is a survivor who still has hopes in spite of her hardships.
Being a foreign born, I never knew about the "Dust Bowl" and learning about it from a perspective of a young girl, was a great historical lesson.
