Join friends at the Healdton Community Library for their book club at 5:30 PM on Monday, October 20th. Conversation, fellowship, and refreshments will be centered on popular book titles for adults to discuss. This month’s book, “The Four Winds” by Kristin Hannah will be discussed.
Texas, 1934. Millions are out of work, and a drought has broken the Great Plains. Farmers are fighting to keep their land and their livelihoods as the crops are failing, the water is drying up, and dust threatens to bury them all. One of the darkest periods of the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl era, has arrived with a vengeance. In this uncertain and dangerous time, Elsa Martinelli—like so many of her neighbors—must make an agonizing choice: fight for the land she loves or go west, to California, in search of a better life. The Four Winds captures the struggle and hope of a nation, seen through Elsa’s relentless courage—a legacy that will echo for generations.
Participants are encouraged to check out the book by visiting the Healdton Community Library at 554 South 4th Street in Healdton or call (580) 229-0590. The Healdton Community Library is a branch of the Southern Oklahoma Library System.
