"...There was one girl. I saw her through the slat in the boxcar. She stared up at the passing train. She stood by the tracks watching, and I knew her." Summer 1935 Page 199
When Billie Jo says that she knows the girl, she means that she sees herself in her. The girl was alone and wanting only to leave all the dust behind. Billie Jo is doing the same. Billie Jo understands how the dust storms can ruin even the strongest of families and communities.
