Description: Once upon a time in America, half the people lost every dime they ever had. Then the droughts of the Dust Bowl hit as hard as a prairie tornado. Reuben, just finishing second grade in Ambler, Oklahoma, has grown up knowing the peacefulness of small-town life. Suddenly the secure life he's loved has vanished, and Reuben needs a full measure of love and courage to get by.
