" The book mirrors Burn's Dust Bowl which features the author and follows several families who experienced living through this time in history when the last homesteaders tried to farm this area in the panhandle of OK, southern CO, and parts of TX and KS. I admit while I had known about the Dust Bowl, I had not realized the extent of the black storms caused by the cultivation of the land and supported by our government. My book club also read Grapes of Wrath as a companion book. Both are well worth the time and effort. "
