When the Sky Turned to Dust

By Catherine Matthias

In the midst of America's Great Depression, a devastating drought and violent winds brought destruction and added hardship to the Midwest. When the Sky Turned to Dust follows the journey of the courageous Dolan family as they face the ultimate test of strength and resilience and struggle to survive on the unforgiving prairie.

During the ravages of the Dust Bowl, the largest storm ever recorded swept through Kansas, leaving chaos in its wake. Separated from his family, nine-year-old Daniel must fight for his life. With the fate of her brother in her hands, it's up to twelve-year-old Caroline to brave the treacherous conditions to save both their lives.

As the storms rage on, their crops fail, and tragedy strikes, the Dolan family must come together like never before to overcome their greatest challenge and deepest grief.
