FARM GIRL 
By Karen Jones Gowen
Released 2007
Print Version $9.95


ISBN (print): 978-0-9796070-0-4

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.
