This engaging novel is based on the real events of “hobos” during the Great Depression (1929–1939) in search of work across the USA.

Mr. Howe seamlessly weaves history with storytelling, showing the struggles of hobos, families, and workers traveling across America in search of survival and hope. It brings vividly to life the rise of “Shanty Towns,” where people built makeshift homes, shared food, and created community out of hardship. Its cast of memorable characters—each with distinct personalities, talents, and backgrounds—makes this an entertaining and enlightening read.
