I did feel like this could be 100 pages less, and I’m a little mad at the ending, but, overall, a gripping story.

This was the most depressing book I've read in awhile and yet so informative of the times. It made me feel so much as a mom and so thankful for everything I have. Read it but know that it doesn't end happily.

My first ever Kristin Hannah novel did not disappoint! I rated 4.5 stars because it took a little longer to get into than I would’ve liked, but it’s worth reading!

I really enjoyed this book and the flow of the plot. This book taught me a lot about the dust bowl, and the circumstances in which people will uproot their lives for the sake of survival.  It’s also a very poignant lesson in grit, tenacity, and self preservation. Elsa and her children were written very well and I felt like I knew them. The relationship that Kristen Hanna builds between Elsa and her daughter was so relatable, and to see the growth within both characters made me invested in this story
