In Kansas in 1936, drought and dust ruled the land and crops failed to grow. Desperate for a way to earn some money and provide for his growing family, Harley leaves the farm and finds a job with the WPA building a castle in Kansas. Back home, his wife Anna struggles to feed her girls while

awaiting the birth of another babe. Unbeknownst to either of them, the very man Harley asked to help Anna in his absence is still in love with her and plots to get her back. An interesting story and well-developed characters make for an enjoyable and entertaining read. Inspirational in nature, this novel is not overly so, and the Christian attitudes are a believable part of the characters’ makeup.
