From Goodreads:
Texas, 1934. Millions are out of work and a drought has broken the Great Plains. Farmers are fighting to keep their land and their livelihoods as the crops are failing, the water is drying up, and dust threatens to bury them all. One of the darkest periods of the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl era, has arrived with a vengeance.
In this uncertain and dangerous time, Elsa Martinelli—like so many of her neighbors—must make an agonizing choice: fight for the land she loves or go west, to California, in search of a better life. The Four Winds is an indelible portrait of America and the American Dream, as seen through the eyes of one indomitable woman whose courage and sacrifice will come to define a generation.
Rapid Rating: Moderate.
Profanity includes 1 use of strong language, around 10 instances of moderate profanity, about 20 uses of mild language, and around 20 instances of the name of Deity in vain. There are many harsh situations throughout the book, with people trying to survive in difficult circumstances. Some references to sex but little detail. Violence includes a shooting and some blood.
