Author Description

At seventy-nine years old, Anna Carter Johns shares her thoughts and memories as a young child growing up in the 1940's. Anna relates her experiences living in the Arvin Farm Labor Camp, which housed mid-western migrants from the 1930's and early 1940's Dust Bowl. Anna lived in a community with a group of people who worked hard to have a better way of life for themselves and their children. Living in this community and surrounded by people from all walks of life, she now shares the wisdom she learned with us.
