It bothers me that I think the last couple of generations don't think, or even know about The Great Depression or the Dust Bowl Era. I see our country headed back, through ignorance, suffering and greed, to a time of necessary revolution.

Loved it! Purely heroic showing the strength and resilience of the women of the Dust Bowl/Great Depression era, who survive every unimaginable adversity.
Official rating: 3.5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

Kristin Hannah wrote it beautifully and gave what felt like a chillingly accurate depiction of the struggle in the Great Plains and in California during the Dust Bowl era of the Great Depress ...more
