From the author of The Nightingale, an epic and exciting novel of love, heroism and hope. 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. * Number 1 on The New York Times Bestseller List * Number 1 on USA Today's Best Sellers List * Number 1 on The Wall Street Journal Best Sellers List * One of The Most Anticipated New Releases of 2021 - Newsweek * One of the 27 most anticipated historical fiction novels of 2021 that will catch you -Oprah Magazine * One of the most anticipated books of 2021 -Parade * One of the books that everyone will talk about in 2021 -PopSugar * One of The 57 most anticipated books of 2021 -Elle * One of the 32 great books to start the year -Refinery29 * One of the 25 best books to arrive in 2021 -BookBub * One of the most anticipated books of 2021 -Frolic Reviews: Brutally beautiful .
