Riassunto

This is the story of two families—Anders and Gudrun Svendsbye and Thor and Gjertru Birkelo—for whom the promise of America miscarried. For several years they had to borrow money for almost everything: the seed they planted, the hay that had to be shipped in to feed the animals, the food and clothing needed by the family just to exist. Bills mounted. Taxes went unpaid. And the top soil of the parched earth blew away, airborne for hundreds of miles as strong winds pummeled the earth.
