An epic novel of love, heroism, and hope set against the backdrop of one of the most defining eras in American history: the Great Depression. Texas, 1934. Millions are out of work, the Great Plains are in the grip of a decades-long drought. Farmers struggle to preserve the last of their crops, water is running low, and dust threatens to engulf them all. Regular dust storms have turned what was once a fertile land into a desert. In this terrible time, the Martinelli family, like their fellow farmers, must make an agonizing choice: stay on the land they love, or head west to California in search of a better life.
Elsa, a courageous woman who has not had much of a chance at life since she was a child, worries first and foremost about her two children, who have forgotten what it feels like to rain, eat their fill, or what decent clothes look like. They have long since ceased to live, but to survive, and the moment has come when Elsa has no choice: if she wants to save her children, she must decide to leave her home, to go into the unknown, hoping that there they will find well-being. "The Four Winds" is an indelible portrait of America and the American dream, seen through the eyes of an indomitable woman whose courage and sacrifice will define an entire generation.
