Though this book is well written, it depressed me terribly reading it. I knew some about the lives of the poor "Arkies" and "Oakies" from previous readings but had no idea how bad it was for some. Maybe I shouldn't have read this during the pandemic but I have always enjoyed reading books on survival. Maybe because it is set here in America, it upset me more than the Holocaust books and the polar expeditions survivor's books I have read over the years. I guess you'll have to judge for yourself..
