Julia and Samuel Wortham are down on their luck during the Depression Era. Samuel has lost his job, their home has been taken back by the bank, and they have no money nor mode of transportation, but their feet. They begin their journey from Pennsylvania to Illinois with their two children in hopes of finding a job, a new home, and happiness.

As they journey across the land, they find prejudice and kindness, but none as precious as the kindness of dear, sweet Emma, who has taken many families under her wing and given more of herself than one could ever imagine.

Wholesome story and I was relieved to find that after book 1 there are two more books to continue the story of the Wortham and Hammond families!

Reminds me of the Karen Kingsbury Firstborn and Redemption series books. Good book.
