'A moving and informative account of a decade (1927-37) of drought and depression in North Dakota. In 1929, Ann Marie Low wrote in her diary: 'There seems to be quite a furor in the country over a big stock market crash that wiped a lot of people out. We are ahead of them. The hailstorm in July of 1928 and bank failure that fall wiped out a lot of people locally.' That diary ...tells the story of one family's struggle to maintain a way of life, keep their farm and educate their children' - "New York Times Book Review".'A lovingly detailed, sometimes humorous and often painful account of a ravaged land. An adolescent Low, withstanding adult responsibilities, describes her parents, sister, brother and a beloved horse, Roany; scorching summers with dust billows big as snowdrifts; neighbors losing their livelihoods; malevolent nature; and government recovery programs' - "Los Angeles Times Book Review". 'A lively first-hand account of hard times and hard work--and an irrepressible spirit' - "Library Journal".
