"Vicki Schoen is a good story teller. She had me on the first page. Living in the area, near where the story was set, it was fun reading about places I know. I have friends who lived through the Dust Bowl. It enlivened my knowledge of that era. The characters were well developed and she had a great sense of time and place. All in all, an excellent book. Put it on your must read list." Nina Stein
