Beneath the Dust
The life of a teenage girl from Star City, Arkansas who leaves to find migrant field work in Iowa, and Ralph Abraham Showalter, who is left to raise seven children alone when his young wife died in childbirth, during the dustbowl years of the 1930s. Johnnie Bell leaves for Iowa but ends up taking care of Ralph's children in northwest Missouri. Their experiences give voice to many who struggled to do more than merely survive.
