Outstanding. A story of adversity during the 1930s during the Dust Bowl that revolves around a character who finds her voice and proves over and over again that she is braver than she believed she ever could be. I started this book on a whim while waiting for other audiobooks to be available from my library and what a gift to have stumbled across this book. I loved historical fictions as a child and to no surprise, I still love them. This book is heart-wrenching yet inspiring. Kristin Hannah paints portraits with her words that describe life during the dust bowl, bringing settings from history books alive and full of emotion. Once I started this book, I could not stop and am looking forward to reading my next Kristin Hannah novel, with the hopes that it invokes the same feelings I had while enjoying this book. Easily one of the top books I have savored as an adult. It relit the excitement for reading with the same feeling as being a child and staying up late to read just one more chapter, again, and again, and again.
