Chloe May's father found his wife's tactics incredulous as she dealt with their impoverished life and her own restlessness. Then came the Depression and the droughts of the Dust Bowl. It took more than their losses, near starvation, and apparent defeat to bring tears to Grover Whitehurst's eyes. Even the women in the Whitehurst family were seldom reduced to tears-conniving and rash behavior, perhaps, but no tears! The family knew laughter and fun, balancing heartaches and poverty. Laced with historical facts of the time, Chloe May Daughter of the Dust Bowl will prove to be an entertaining and tender story for readers of all ages.


If you enjoy Beverly Lewis and Janette Oke then you'll love this book too! This is an excellent book about the Dust Bowl and the Depression. A fast read but very interesting! I loved the book!
