A Sky Full of Dust

Four women with a truck full of seeds and eight weeks to prove themselves drive into the heart of 1930s Oklahoma's dying panhandle—where dust buries homes whole and desperate families turn away the help they need most. Joanna Rawlings traded a safe bookkeeper's desk for the Agricultural Extension Service, expecting ledgers. Instead she finds starvation, dust pneumonia, and a county relief coordinator who wants her unit to fail for reasons far darker than pride. What she uncovers could save hundreds of homesteads—or destroy everything she's built.
