Time It Never Rained Unknown - 1999
by Elmer Kelton
From the publisher
To the ranchers and farmers of 1950s Texas, man's biggest enemy is one he can't control. With their entire livelihood pegged on the chance of a wet year or a dry year, drought has the ability to crush their whole enterprise, to determine who stands and who fails, and to literally take food out of the mouths of the workers and their families. To Charlie Flagg, an honest, decent, and cantankerous rancher, the drought of the early 1950s is a foe that he must fight on his own grounds. Refusing the questionable help of federal aid programs, Charlie and his family struggle to make the ranch survive until the time it rains again -- if it ever rains again.
