The Longest Road (SW)When a dust storm destroys the family farm in Kansas and kills her mother, young Laurie Field disguises herself as a boy and hops the rails, journeying across the Southwest from California to Texas oil boom towns and meeting a handsome, folk-singing, wayfarer. Williams’ focus is the threshing culture of the 1920's...but also touches on many other issues from the impact of the radio to the Ku Klux Klan." --Kansas History, A Journal of the Central Plains Moving, accurate picture of Dust Bowl America……resonates with Woody Guthrie's songs and has a good, strong heart." —Mercury News, San Jose, California "Gritty details and keen social observations...Williams' colorful story keeps the reader engaged." —Publishers Weekly |
