What a fascinating look into the Great Depression through the eyes of a woman - Elsa Walcott. Abandoned by her family, her husband and the land - she finds strength in her love for her children.

Wow. What a book. Such an epic story of resilience, perseverance and bravery. If someone had asked me if I wanted to read a book about farmers, migrant workers and the Great Depression, I would have immediately said no. Do I want to read a Kristin Hannah book? Yes. I’m glad to be wrong because I was hooked from the first chapter.

This one was a rough start for me but about a 1/4 of the way through I found I couldn't put it down!
