Note(s) : "Born in Oklahoma in 1907 to a restless small-town baseball player, gambler, and baker
and his long-suffering wife, Sanora Babb and her sister lived as children on the arid
and wind-swept prairie of eastern Colorado as their parents struggled vainly to homestead.
As an adult, Babb worked for small-town newspapers and a farming magazine, as a country
schoolteacher and as a college writing teacher. During the Great Depression she worked
in the Calilornia fields setting up government camps for migrant workers. She also
traveled extensively with her cinematographer husband, James Wong Howe, living on
film locations throughout the world. Babb mined and transformed all of this and more
in her novels and stories."--BOOK JACKET
