Lucy is light-hearted and a bit of a flirt. Sally is serious and romantic. And then there's Jeanie, the youngest, who is so timid that she has few friends outside the family. Mary Jerod, trusting God and her own hard work, brings her daughters up in dust bowl Oklahoma during the dirty thirties on a drought-stricken eighty acres in such a fashion that in the long away future they will be able to say, "Those were the best years of our lives." But Mary, the grownup who bears all the responsibility, is sometimes terrified as crops fail, she gets sick, and her girls don't always make the best choices. Sometimes she doesn't understand how God can let the terrible dry years roll on and on, but she does know that he has promised to be with her through the hard times.
