Los cuatro vientos

Texas, 1921. The Great War is over, and the United States seems to be entering a new era of optimism and abundance. But for Elsa, considered too old to marry in an era when marriage is a woman's only option, the future is uncertain. Until the night she meets Rafe Martinelli and decides to change the course of her life. With her reputation ruined, she has only one respectable choice left: to marry a man she barely knows. By 1934, the world has changed. Millions have lost their jobs, and farmers struggle to hold onto their land. Crops are lost to drought, water sources are drying 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 choice: fight for the land she loves or head west to California in search of a better life for her family.
