A Story of Perseverance Amidst Shattered Dreams
​Rose is a young Mexican migrant, abandoned and lost in turbulent 1930s California. She clings to Margaret Thomas, a Kansas farmwife displaced by the Dust Bowl. Together, they grieve a lost family and search for home and healing ​in the midst of unrelenting hardships. Could John Bollen, the generous wheat farmer down the road, be a savior for them both? A powerful journey of the heart unfolds ​for three people who find their lives intertwined, ​each desperate to heal the past and embrace a new future.
