When I was given this book last year for English to read, I was like, (sarcastically) "Oh boy. Another woe is me story!" But this book isn't like that at all. it gives us an indepth idea of what it was like during the Depression in the Dust Bowl. It is historically accurate. And like my title says this story will never leave me. Instead of being so cliche and all about the whole damsel in distress, we see this girl instead trying to live. To live with her guilt, to live with the loss of her mother, and the fact that her father barely stands to look at her. I think that everyone should read this book, because it took me by surprise.
