It's in her hair, covering the windowsills, coating the animals in the barn, in the corners of her children's dry, cracked lips. It's 1934 and the Bell farm in Mulehead, Oklahoma is struggling as the earliest storms of The Dust Bowl descend. All around them the wheat harvests are drying out and people are packing up their belongings as storms lay waste to the Great Plains. As the Bells wait for the rains to come, Annie and each member of her family are pulled in different directions. Annie's fragile young son, Fred, suffers from dust pneumonia; her headstrong daughter, Birdie, flush with first love, is choosing a dangerous path out of Mulehead; and Samuel, her husband, is plagued by disturbing dreams of rain." -- $c Amazon.com 650 0 $a Rural families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Dust Bowl Era, 1931-1939 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Farm life $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Droughts $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Self-realization $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Oklahoma $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Literature & Fiction. $2 local 655 7 $a Book club set. $2 local 655 7 $a Historical. $2 local 655 7 $a Family Life. $2 local 941 $a 1 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20180901010339.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4CE4603EADAC11E8B097846B97128E48 994 $a C0 $b JUHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
