The Four Winds speaks to our deepest desires-to be loved and wanted, to be understood, and to make a difference. Should her family stay and try to survive the drought or head west to California, where word of work, sun, and prosperity seem like the Promiseland? Spanning two decades, The Four Winds is a portrait of the grit, courage and sacrifices made by ordinary people trying to achieve the American Dream. Struggling to survive in every way-physically, mentally, and emotionally-Elsa must make hard choices for the sake and well-being of her children. The Four Winds takes readers to the Dust Bowl, where Elsa Martinelli lives with her in-laws, drunk husband, and two young children. It is Kristin Hannah at her absolute best. The characters are unforgettable, the storytelling is captivating, and the parallels to life right now are notable. I’m a working mom with three young kids, and I read this 450-page book in 36 hours. You will not be able to put The Four Winds down.
