I just finished reading an amazing and powerful book called "The Worst Hard Time" by Timothy Egan. It's a book about the dust bowl and the Great Depression. I'm sure the title and the meager description I just gave sound rather boring and dry, but don't be fooled!  This is a non-fiction book that reads like fiction. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down.

If you're like me, probably the only thing you know about the dust bowl is "Grapes of Wrath" and a couple Woody Guthrie songs. You probably heard that overfarming caused the dust bowl. That is true, but it's only a small part of the story.
