The Four Winds

Kristin Hannah

Book cover for The Four Winds

The Four Winds follows a broken family as they migrate from drought-ridden Texas to the green “promised land” of California during the Great Depression. The main character, Elsa, is a downtrodden woman, which is at least a step up from the previous Kristen Hannah book I read (“The Great Alone”) where the main character was downtrodden and abused. I'm not the biggest fan of her weak characters but maybe it's more realistic that way, I dunno.
