Like a Swarm of Locusts, Book Three

by Carolyn White

Overview

In this third installment of her Trucks are for Girls book series, author Carolyn White takes us back to the beginning — the growing up years in the 1960s and 70s — and the friendships which helped shape her. Rich in detail, nostalgic, heartwarming, and hilarious, the twelve essays in "Like a Swarm of Locusts" take readers back to a kinder and simpler time of life when kids were still free to be kids. Weaving in memories of her adult years working as a guide, packer, and camp cook in the mountains of Idaho, White paints vivid pictures of the early adventures that helped develop her strengths, from horseback riding in the hardwood forests of Ohio, to camping, caving, and backpacking in rural West Virginia, to living on her own right out of high school.
