"When I see pictures with children in shabby clothing and haunting looks of despair on their faces, standing in front of their car laden with all that they own-representing the only anchor they had in their lives which they could call home-all the anguish and dread that I felt on that day comes back to me with great power." The Road to Shalom is the story of a boy, just entering puberty, who was uprooted along with his family when they lost everything in the Great Depression, drought, and dust bowl in Oklahoma in the 1930s. It tells of their hardships and the providence of God which led them in time from poverty to blessings and peace. Conveying to the current generation some of the flavor, spirit, and trauma of an earlier age, author Robert Brantly gives perspective in terms of we are today-morally, politically and economically-a unique and timely frame of reference for subsequent generations.
