Description
Texas, 1921. La Gran Guerra ha terminado y Estados Unidos parece entrar en una nueva era de optimismo y abundancia. Pero para Elsa, considerada demasiado mayor para casarse en una época en la que el matrimonio es la única opción de una mujer, el futuro es incierto. Hasta la noche en que conoce a Rafe Martinelli y decide cambiar la dirección de su vida. Con su reputación arruinada, solo le queda una opción respetable: casarse con un hombre al que apenas conoce.En 1934, el mundo ha cambiado. Millones de personas se han quedado sin trabajo y los granjeros luchan por conservar sus tierras. Las cosechas se pierden por la sequía, las fuentes de agua se secan y el polvo amenaza con enterrarlo todo. Cada día en la granja de los Martinelli es una desesperada batalla por la supervivencia. Y, como tantos otros, Elsa se ve obligada a tomar unaagónica decisión: luchar por la tierra que ama o marchar al oeste, a California, en busca de una vida mejor para su familia.
Description
Texas, 1921. The Great War is over and America seems to enter a new era of optimism and abundance. But for Elsa, considered too old to marry at a time when marriage is a woman's only option, the future is uncertain. Until the night she meets Rafe Martinelli and decides to change the direction of her life. With her reputation ruined hers, she is left with only one respectable option: marry a man she barely knows. In 1934, the world has changed. Millions of people are out of work and farmers are struggling to conserve their land. Crops are lost to drought, water sources dry up, and dust threatens to bury everything. Every day on the Martinelli farm is a desperate battle for survival. And, like so many others, Elsa is forced to make an agonizing decision: fight for the land she loves or go west to California in search of a better life for her family.
