Step by Step

I loved this book, it made me think a lot.If you want to share your thoughts, let's talk in the comments. And I <a href="https://deepstash.com/u/my365media">invite you to follow me</a>. I'm collecting the best theories and practices about writing, parenting, and health.

People you can rely on are the ones who are doing, not just dreaming. So if you want to save your family, your health, or your wealth, you should make an effort every day, every week.

Dreamers vs Realists

Home is not the place where you grew up. It is a place where your family and close friends are. Biological parents can be cold and detached, but strangers can be the kindest and closest.

Where is Home

Different people choose various ways to deal with difficult times. Some decide to fight, some choose to work harder, and others give up and run. There is no explanation for who chooses better or who is happier. But in my opinion, it's just different ways of coping. It's like a formula: "Fight, Flight, or Freeze".

Challenging Times

The main character did not see herself as a beautiful woman just because her parents said she was ugly, stupid, and unhealthy. However, we discover that she was pretty at the end of the novel.As a parent, you should make sure your child does not receive negative attitudes within your family. Love is all they need.

Parental Attitudes

Parents' lives are full of guilt and insecurities. You go from the sweetest childhood to fierce teenage and you can't predict if it will go well. The only way to save your relationship is to do better, make efforts, and love more than you can.They will appreciate your actions, just give it time.

Make Children Proud

Sometimes, you just need to take full responsibility. Adulthood isn't about age — it's about obligations and the power of making hard decisions.People who talk more than they act are just grown-up children.

Responsibility

You can't blame migrants for searching for a better life. They flee because of wars, natural disasters, and insecurity. They can be valuable for your country, city, or even your street. But usually, they just need time to adapt, find a proper job, and navigate the paperwork and rules of their new life. They are not inherently evil and do not intentionally interfere with the lives of others.

Help, Not Blame

It's a novel about Great Depression and families that were destroyed by it. Great story! 

"The Bestselling Hardcover Novel of the Year."--Publishers Weekly From the number-one bestselling author of The Nightingale and The Great Alone comes a powerful American epic about love and heroism and hope, set during the Great Depression, a time when the country was in crisis and at war with itself, when millions were out of work and even the land seemed to have turned against them. “My land tells its story if you listen. The story of our family.” Texas, 1921. A time of abundance. The Great War is over, the bounty of the land is plentiful, and America is on the brink of a new and optimistic era. But for Elsa Wolcott, deemed too old to marry in a time when marriage is a woman’s only option, the future seems bleak. Until the night she meets Rafe Martinelli and decides to change the direction of her life. With her reputation in ruin, there is only one respectable choice: marriage to a man she barely knows. By 1934, the world has changed; millions are out of work and drought has devastated the Great Plains. Farmers are fighting to keep their land and their livelihoods as crops fail and water dries up and the earth cracks open. Dust storms roll relentlessly across the plains. Everything on the Martinelli farm is dying, including Elsa’s tenuous marriage; each day is a desperate battle against nature and a fight to keep her children alive. In this uncertain and perilous time, Elsa—like so many of her neighbors—must make an agonizing choice: fight for the land she loves or leave it behind and go west, to California, in search of a better life for her family. The Four Winds is a rich, sweeping novel that stunningly brings to life the Great Depression and the people who lived through it—the harsh realities that divided us as a nation and the enduring battle between the haves and the have-nots. A testament to hope, resilience, and the strength of the human spirit to survive adversity, The Four Winds is an indelible portrait of America and the American dream, as seen through the eyes of one indomitable woman whose courage and sacrifice will come to define a generation.
