Description
Hard Times by Les Edgerton is a gripping tale of survival and resilience set against the backdrop of the Great Depression. In 1930s East Texas, a young woman faces impossible choices when her family's farm is destroyed and her children are left to starve. As desperation sets in, Amelia must summon all her courage and ingenuity to save her family from starvation and violence. Meanwhile, a desperate man flees into the wilderness with a gunshot wound, pursued by the law. The odds are stacked against both of them, but one thing is certain: only one will make it to safety. With its unflinching portrayal of life in the Deep South during a time of great hardship, Hard Times is a powerful and haunting novel that explores the human spirit's capacity for survival and hope.
