Author: Harriette Arnow
ISBN: 9780380009473

Strong-willed, self-reliant Gertie Nevels's peaceful life in the Kentucky hills was devastated by the brutal winds of change. Uprooted from their backwoods home, she and her family were thrust into the confusion and chaos of wartime Detroit. And in a pitiless world of unendurable poverty, Gertie would battle fiercely and relentlessly to protect those things she held most precious -- her children, her heritage...and her triumphant ability to create beauty in the suffocating shadow of ugliness and despair.
