Celebrated poet Bonnie Buckley Maldonado unveils a heartbreaking story that begs to be told: the story of her and her three brothers struggling to survive hard times in the oilfields of Montana. The Buckley children grasp hope and each other, finding their way despite their father's drinking, their mother's suicide threats, and their country's dive into World War II. Maldonado skillfully conveys the children's highs and lows in 50 touching poems.
