In the red land and part of the gray land of Oklahoma, the last rains came gently, and they did not cut into the scarred earth. Drought and economic depression drive thousands from Oklahoma. As their land becomes another strip in the dust bowl, the Joad family, a family of tenant farmers, decides they have no choice but to follow. They set out westward toward California, where they hope to find work and a future for their family. However, as the journey to this promised land will inevitably take its toll, uncertainty remains about what awaits them upon arrival. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, The Grapes of Wrath is an epic human drama, featuring a stunning new cover by renowned artist Bijou Karman.
