3 out of 5 stars Penguin Exclusive Win Uncorrected and Unpublished Proof

Looking back at the year 1932 as distrust spreads across the USA and the world.  The lack of jobs and food as poverty strikes all across America even to veterans of war.

We witness the struggles of three people as they deal with the landscape of the time.  Their journey across the land and the people they encounter and the people they meet along the way and their story.

There is an impoverished veteran travelling with his son, Arthur and Douglas Sinclair as they travel from Kansas to join the march. They encounter the rebellious children of a judge, Aiden and Sutton Kelly as they meet at the march which will change their lives as Arthur disappears after is falsely accused for conspiracy.

We are swept into these young adults as they experience the scenery of the time where you cannot trust anyone.  A journey through  time that takes us on a rollercoaster ride.
