Book of the Month: The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah
Synopsis
Texas, 1921. A time for great abundance and security as the Great War has ended. But for Elsa Wolcott, things don’t seem very bright for her future. She’s too old to marry, which for the time is a woman’s only choice. One night she meets Rafe Martinelli and her life is completely turned upside down by a shattered reputation and only one option: marry a man she barely knows.
By 1934, a drought has swallowed the Great Plains and farmers are struggling to survive. Dust storms are continuous and have left the area completely devastated. The Martinelli farm is dying, along with Elsa’s marriage, and each day is a hard-fought battle.
Elsa must make an impossible choice: stay and fight for her family’s farm or flee to the west like so many others and seek out new prosperity.
