The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah

4.0

“A warrior believes in an end she can’t see and fights for it. A warrior never gives up. A warrior fights for those weaker than herself. It sounds like motherhood to me.”

The Four Winds is a compelling family saga moving through the relentless, deadly dust storms of the 1930s in the Great Plains, which ravages the home and farm of Elsa and her family in Texas, into their journey west to California during the Great Depression in hopes of finally attaining the “American Dream.”

It’s an unforgettable read filled with parallel themes of identity, migration, family, mother/daughter relationships, hope, and survival across three generations.
