Once again KH hits with incredible story telling with a powerful and emotional back drop. I have given her other books all 5☆ but I think I have to bump this down a little . I was both invested in the story and found myself avoiding it because it was such a downer. The ending was very powerful and I even cried a little. Very moving. Very stressful that it feels like we are heading back to this .

It’s a book set in the Great Depression, following a family from the Dust Bowl in the Texas panhandle to the shanty towns in California. A terrible time is had by all, but it’s an excellent read with threads of hope throughout.
