Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

What a book! Wow!! If you want a strong, courageous, downright heart wrenching novel with a woman named Elsa Martinelli and her lionhearted children, this is it! Elsa Martinelli has a good life living on a farm with her in-laws and two children in Texas during the 1930's. Then in the blink of an eye --- The dust bowl comes with no rain, wind storms and no crops! Their farm animals are dying, crops are withered, and food and water are scarce! People have dust pneumonia. Life has taken a dramatic turn! Elsa decides after much turmoil to take her children and seek out a better life in California. "Courage is fear you ignore." She will make this journey for her family! This is the land of hope, good and plenty! Will they find the rainbow or just more devastation? At this time in our country with our own pandemic, this is certainly an emotional, thought provoking novel that I read deliberately. I could feel all the pain, heartache and challenges during this time in history and how similar they are at this present time to then! Ten stars for this brilliant story! It will not be forgotten anytime soon!
