Where Only Storms Grow

Alyssa Colman

During the 1930s in Oklahoma, the Stanton twins face years without rain and growing strain between them. Howe wants to leave their dust-covered farm, while Joanna, who has scoliosis and near-constant pain, wants to remain. After their father departs to look for work in California, the twins must help keep the farm from failing. Joanna works at a local hospital, and Howe cares for his father’s horse. Then a dangerous dust storm threatens their family and town.
