I didn’t expect this book to go as hard as it did. Kristin Hannah always seems to know what story needs to be told.

The focus on women's experiences during the great depression was refreshing and heartbreaking. The grit that so many women from that era possessed is seldom acknowledged, and Kristin Hannah's novel paid homage to their sacrifices, strength, and courage.

I didn’t love the first 20% of the book and got more and more into it as time went on. I love the labor movement in the last third of the book - really adds to the historical fiction aspect. I’m still not fully decided on how I feel about the book as a whole, but I am glad I read it and feel a respect for women - as I always do after reading Kristin Hannah books. You go, Elsa.
