Americans are currently struggling through the greatest economic downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930's. "No Promises In The Wind" by Irene Hunt is a novel set during the Great Depression.
In 1932, 15 year old Josh Grondowski, his younger brother Joey and their friend Howie leave their unhappy homes in Chicago and hit the road to find work.
Hearbreak, hunger, and desperation is what awaits the boys as they travel through an economically devastated Midwest.
No Promises In The Wind does not go into detail about the causes of the Depression, but it does give the reader a sense of the period.
