Our next novel is "Out of the Dust" by Karen Hasse. I know that everyone will enjoy this novel because the setting is during The Great Depression. This is how some of it goes down:
Meet Billie Jo Kelby, a fourteen-year-old girl living in Cimarron County, Oklahoma with her mom, a homemaker, and her dad, a farmer. While there's peace in their small family, she hasn't exactly been living the dream. Her dad was expecting a boy and got her instead, which has kept their relationship strained, and on top of that, his farm is in decline due to the drought and dust storms. Things are about to change in a big way, though, as Ma has recently learned that she's going to have a baby.
