Annotation

The trials and dangers that a desperate family endures when they are forced to leave their beloved land are inexpressible. The hopes and dreams they left behind in the drought laden land of Oklahoma, is replaced with fantasies of riches they will find on the deserts of Arizona. The sojourn to this new land is complicated with prejudice, illness, hunger and unexpected danger. More importantly, bravery and determination were known to those who battled hardships that were brought on by World War, a failing economy and a drought that destroyed everything and most everyone unfortunate enough to have lain in its path. The spirit of early Americans displayed by these individuals will warm your heart and bring a smile to your face.
