The husband and wife live in a precarious wooden farm shack, but Tike yearns for a sturdy house that will protect them from the treacherous elements. Thanks to a five-cent government pamphlet, Tike has the know-how to build a simple adobe dwelling, a structure made from the land itself-fireproof, windproof, Dust Bowl-proof. A house of earth. Though they are one with the farm and with each other, the land on which Tike and Ella May live and work is not theirs. Due to larger forces beyond their control - including ranching conglomerates and banks - their adobe house remains painfully out of reach."--back cover. 650 0 $a Farmers $z Texas $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Adobe houses $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Dust Bowl Era, 1931-1939 $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Brinkley, Douglas. 700 1 $a Depp, Johnny. 941 $a 2 945 $a lpt 952 $l CPPC926 $d 20231111011538.0 952 $l WXPD305 $d 20151203020020.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8D489110CCDC11E29536ECE2DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
