| | Barnes & Noble.com - Books: Stormy Weather, by Paulette Jiles, Hardcover |
 | | Stormy Weather was inspired, in part, by Jiles's conversations, over the years, with people who lived in Texas during the 1930s. |
 | | The stories she is referring to belong to the years -- covered in the opening chapters of Stormy Weather -- of the 1920s and the early 1930s, when her rakish husband Jack led Elizabeth and their three daughters from one oil boom town to another, never settling anywhere for long. |
 | | Stormy Weather is set in the grinding poverty of the Great Depression, weaving together love, loss, and history, yet often sparking it with a unique sense of humor. |
