Folks Lena Knew

Lena, a ten-year old girl, has to leave a drought stricken West Texas ranch for the orange groves of South Texas. There she sees and learns about "e;wet backs"e; and their continuing role in the U.S. When she moves back to the ranch, she meets the "e;dot.com"e; millionaire who has bought it. Lena finds them to have much in common--composing the patchwork of her life, and of America.
