True grit and heartache. Step back in time for the Great Depression during the dust bowl era. Hard times and the greed of others.
Hannah has a wonderful way of writing historical fiction, and I’m here for it!
Apparently you couldn’t stop loving some people, or needing their love, even when you knew better. -p.90
The children’s lives would never be the same after today. Their options of everything would change, but especially their opinions of themselves… -p. 117
“ I don’t know if I want her to settle down, Rose. I’m in awe of her fire. Even if I’m the one who gets burned.” -p. 136
A beautiful recognition of love is on page 190 💗
“No,” she said at last. “I don’t know the people who lived here…and they didn’t know me.” -p. 198
A warrior believes in an end she can’t see and fight for it. A warrior never gives up. A warrior fights for those weaker than herself. It sounds like motherhood to me. -p. 426
“The world can be changed by a handful of courageous people. …” -p. 427

I loved it. One again, with Kristin Hanna, we discover a part of history through the eyes of women.

I enjoyed reading this book. I've heard a lot about this author and am glad I chose to read this as my first book of hers. These times sound so very challenging. It's disheartening to hear how people were treated and to see the greed that was in place even back during that time.
