The Hired Man by Sandra Dallas

 


This is an excellent yet rough story that takes place during the Dust Bowl in Colorado. It is a narrative of fortitude and loss, of the ugliness that becomes pervasive in the lives of people who have lost everything. Within the ugliness is the Kessler family, a family of compassion and honor. Their upstanding convictions set against the bleak and hopeless era create a story to remember. The novel led me to investigate the Dust Bowl in Colorado.
