One child preacher traveling across the plains. One young woman with a mysterious touch. Two old friends, their baby, and their bloodhound. And all the stars that shine above them. When fifteen-year-old Marigold becomes pregnant amid the Great Depression, she is rejected by her family and forced to fend for herself. And when she loses her baby in the forest, her whole world turns upside down. Sheâs even more distraught upon discovering she has an inexplicable power that makes her both beautiful and terrifyingâand something of a local legend. Meanwhile, migrant workers Vern and Paul discover a violet-eyed baby and take it upon themselves to care for her. The men soon pair up with a widow and her two children, and the misfit family finds its way in fits and starts toward taking care of each other. As survival brings one family together, a young boy finds himself with nary a friend to his name as the dust storms rage across Kansas. Fourteen-year-old Coot, a child preacher with a prodigyâs memory, is on the run with thousands of stolen dollarsâand the only thing heâs sure of is that Mobile, Alabama, is his destination. As the years pass and a world war looms, these stories intertwine in surprising ways, reminding us that when the dust clears, we can still see the stars. 541 $d 20200721. 650 4 $a Foundlings $x Fiction. 650 1 $a Teenage Mothers $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Unmarried Mothers $x Fiction. 650 1 $a Migrant Labor $x Fiction. 650 4 $a Gifted Children $x Fiction. 650 $a Families $v Fiction. 651 $a Alabama $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical Fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l WKPE185 $d 20230310013336.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EE4599B8BF1111ED8AFE88FD4CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
