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 of people are out of work, the Great Plains are stricken by years of drought. Farmers struggle to save what's left of their crops, water is nearly running out, and dust threatens to engulf them all. Regular dust storms have transformed what was once a fertile region into a desert. In these terrible times, the Martinelli family, like their farming neighbors, must make an agonizing choice: stay on the land they love or head west to California in search of a better lot. Elsa, a courageous woman whom life has not shown much favor to from a young age, worries primarily about her two children, who have forgotten what rain is, what it's like to eat enough to eat, and what decent clothes look like. They have long been not living, but surviving, and the moment has come when Elsa has no choice: if she wants to save her children, she must decide to leave her home and go to the unknown, hoping that there they will find prosperity. "The Four Winds" is an indelible portrait of America and the American dream, seen through the eyes of an indomitable woman whose bravery and sacrifice would come to define an entire generation.
