South Dakota, 1920. Alice Emily Hanford was born into a world of white-out blizzards and stubborn hope. But the prairie is a jealous mistress, and by the time the Dust Bowl winds begin to howl, the land that defined her family for generations is slipping through their fingers.

Alice is characterized by a quiet, stubborn resilience, but even resilience has its breaking point. When the devastating poverty of the Great Depression forces the Hanfords to abandon their roots, Alice must discover if 'home' is a place on a map or something she carries within herself.

From the parched fields of Raymond to the high-stakes floor of Consolidated Aircraft in San Diego, Alice's journey is one of radical transformation. As the world plunges into the darkness of WWII, the girl who once struggled to survive the dust becomes the woman helping build the planes that will save the skies.

In this sweeping historical drama, Denise Vandenbroek explores the resilience of the human spirit and the industrial progress that reshaped a nation. Alice Hanford lost her land, but in the fires of war and the grit of the defense effort, she found a strength that no drought could ever take away.

Will Alice find her way back to the family she left behind, or will the wings she's building carry her to a future she never dared to imagine?
