Stormy Weather by Paulette Jiles

4.0

Paulette Jiles has become one of my favorite authors of historical fiction. She has a very distinct writing style and her attention to detail and historical accuracy is apparent. Stormy Weather takes place in Texas in the 1930s during the depression. Jiles very succinctly tells us what it was like, what happened, and how folks survived and assisted one another. The book follows a family with 3 daughters moving all around the state as their father chases jobs at various oil fields. There are several twists and turns that change the course of their lives and future. It is a story of hardship, perseverance, determination, love of family, and holding onto hope. I’m definitely adding more of her books to my tbr list!
