Four Winds. Kristin Hannah

All her life she was told that she was weak and ugly. All her life she was looked after, but not loved. All her life she considered herself superfluous and behaved quietly, like a mouse, so as not to burden her family.

But one day everything suddenly changed, and Elsa found herself in a new, unknown world. She had to work hard, resist hunger and support loved ones. The blood of the pioneers of the Wild West, which until then had flowed quietly in the veins of the tender girl, in a bad hour made itself felt. It turned out that Elsa was not one of those who give up easily.

The pen of the American writer Christine Henney belongs to people with a strong spirit, those who, in the face of danger, do not lay down their weapons, but reveal the best features of their character. The novel "The Four Winds" is no exception. It inspires and calls to fight against circumstances, against human judgment, to fight for love and light.

We ourselves do not know what we are capable of until fate forces us to resist.
