This novel is a work of historical fiction set in Oklahoma during the Dust Bowl era in the years 1934 & 1935. The story is told through the point of view of a girl named Billie Jo.
My favorite part of this novel was that it was written entirely as a series of free verse poems and feels very much like reading someone's personal diary.
I LOVED this book! I'm glad you blogged about it because I keep meaning to loan it to my mother. Thanks for the reminder!
