4.5⭐️ I forgot how much I enjoyed history growing up until I read this book. This was my first Kristin Hannah book and I know it’s going to be the first of many. What an amazing book to be chosen for my book club. I was sucked in immediately from the very first chapter and found it difficult to put down. 

This book has made me grateful for all I have I would’ve never been able to life in these times that these  innocent people did. The things that those have endured during The Dust Bowl and 1920’s-1940’s is beyond inhumane. I cannot even fathom the struggles they went through but one thing is for sure that the main character in this book Elsa is indeed a warrior.

This book taught so many lessons. From being brave , resilient , appreciation for the small things in life we take for granted everyday, and that the love from a mother is unlike anything else you will experience in your life. 

I went into this book pretty blindly and would recommend you do the same. It made me emotional, moved me, and was written so well I actually felt as if I was in that time period. Amazing plot, characters, message, and lessons.
