Kristin Hannah with her book “The Four Winds,” has created an emotional novel that will open your eyes to the most difficult times of Depression in the US. The book tells the story of a woman and an entire nation fighting to survive.

“The Four Winds” begins in northwestern Texas in 1921. Elsa Wolcott is the eldest daughter in a middle-class family that treats her like an ugly heirloom. Her unloving parents keep Elsa cloistered in her room reading, insisting she’s too weak to endure any social interaction. At 25 — a hopeless spinster! — she’s constantly reminded that “no man of note wants an unattractive wife.”

Elsa finally makes her own way into a new life. Expelled from the confines of her bedroom and the enervating control of her parents, she emerges as a classic Hannah heroine girded for the harrowing adventures ahead. This is, almost from the first page, a story about Elsa’s efforts to cast off the crippling limits imposed by her parents and be the person she wants to be.

This book was made to rock your world. Be prepared to be swept off your feet from the first pages.
