This is such a devastating book and a hard read. I didn't know much about the dust bowl but it's even more horrifying than I imagined. I picked this up before I started the Grapes of Wrath for a little historical context and I haven't been able to put it down.

yall better have library cards. Some (most!!) public library systems have seed libraries and libraries of things where you can borrow things you may not need to own.
