Set in the Dust Bowl of the American West, Farm Girl, the true account
of a child coming of age on a 1920's Nebraska farm, recaptures an era.
Young Lucille Marker experiences survival during the Depression, one of
the worst dust storms in history, and finally the disintegration of the
close-knit community in which she grows up.
Readers who like the
books of Laura Ingalls Wilder or Willa Cather will enjoy Farm Girl. Set
in the locale of Willa Cather’s Nebraska novels, it includes a chapter
about the Marker/Cather family connections.
Richly photographed
throughout with over sixty authentic photos documenting the people and
places of the story, this historical, easy-to-read small book is
suitable for use in the classroom.
