The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah

 Texas; 1934

"Millions are unemployed and a dry season has broken the Incomparable Fields. Ranchers are battling to keep their property and their vocations as the harvests are fizzling, the water is evaporating, and dust takes steps to cover them all.

 One of the most obscure times of the Economic crisis of the early 20s, the Residue Bowl period, has shown up furiously. In this dubious and hazardous time, Elsa Martinelli — like so many of her neighbors — should go with a horrifying decision: battle for the land she cherishes or go west, to California, looking for a superior life.

The Four Winds is a permanent picture of America and the Pursuit of happiness, as seen through the eyes of one unstoppable lady whose fortitude and penance will come to characterize an age." I partook in this novel however troublesome on occasion and took in another point of view of this time in America. I can see this story being made into a film.

Wanna Read!
