It is 1934, and Elsa Martinelli has finally found the life she'd yearned for. A family, a home and a livelihood on a farm on the Great Plains. But when drought threatens all that she and her community hold dear, Elsa's world is shattered to the winds. Fearful of the future, Elsa is forced to make the hardest decision of her life. Fight for the land she loves or take her beloved children west to California in search of a better life.
Will it be the land of milk and honey she expects ? Or will their experience challenge every ounce of strength they possess ? An incredible journey of survival, hope and what we do for those we love, set against America's Great Depression of the 1930s and the Dust Bowl, considered to be the worst environmental disaster in American history. It's about the strength and resilience of women, the value of female friendship and the unbreakable bond between mother and daughter.
