"Dust Girl" Is a young adult novel by Sarah Zettel, who regularly uses the Mudcat for research. The story is set in the midwest during the depression, beginning in the dustbowl, where Callie's mother disappears, and she goes looking for her.
Among the postscripts Ms. Zettel includes a discography of Woody Guthrie's dustbowl ballads.
The book had me turning pages. I recommend it highly, and would even if I hadn't been in Ms. Zettel's wedding.
