"This Great Depression epic of the 1930s is a story of love and survival. Oklah Wynn and the two men who love her are forever changed when the carefree 1920s dissolve into a world of hunger and desperation. Only the most determined will survive. But, like baby eagles whose feathers are marked by 'hunger streaks' caused by periods of starvation, so are those who lived through the Great Depression forever changed in the most challenging time the United States has ever faced, outside of the Civil War. Many novels have been written about the Great Depression, but few take us into the haunting vistas of the Oklahoma dust bowl and the community camps like 'The Hunger Streaks.' This vivid portrait of romance and struggle in the Depression era is one you will remember for a long time."--Publisher's description.
