Los cuatro vientos

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 hardly 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 at 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.
