This novel in verse, meaning it is told through a series of short poems, tells the story of Billie Jo's life during the Dustbowl. We all know that accidents happen, but Billie Jo's transformed her life and left scars that were both visible and invisible. When would things begin to look up when even her kitchen table was covered in a layer of dust? How could her life get better when she was both literally and figuratively stuck under the dust?
