It’s the 1920s and the prosperity seems as if it will never end.
Then, suddenly, the stock market crashes and the banks
close, followed by strong winds called the Dust Bowl. Soon
the Matthews’ family farm will no longer produce, and the
bankers foreclose on it, leaving them nowhere to live except
their old car. Paul, who is fourteen, has heard that the
bankers actually cheated them out of their farm, and he
wants revenge. Mary, thirteen, wonders why they are going
through such severe trials, since they are Christians who
have tried to serve God. Slowly they make their way westward,
where their father hopes to find work. On the way
they must stay in smelly transient camps, and encounter
thieves, deceivers and even religious hypocrites. They have
never had such a severe test of faith—and many times they
wonder what God is doing in their lives.
