Callie Leroux "was the Prophecy Girl and the Bad Luck Girl, but before that [she'd] been the Dust Girl, and before that [she'd ] been just plain Callie Leroux." She and her mother had made a life for themselves running a hotel in Kansas. The dust storms has decimated the small town, however, and tourism had dried up. After Callie's mother disappeared (in Dust Girl), Callie and Jack head for California and the motion pictures. They are searching for Callie's missing father, and, of course, now her mother. Her father is fairy prince who abdicated his right to the throne to marry her mother. Callie is heir to the throne, her magic powers are growing, and she is seen as a threat to various fairy factions. As in Dust Bowl, we are treated to an insider's look at American history as we accompany Callie on her heroic quest. We meet William Randolph Hearst, who is not portrayed in a favorable light, and Paul Robeson, who was an all-American football player, lawyer, singer, actor, and political activist, who is not incidental, but is instrumental to the plot.
