It is 1931 in Fremont County, Kansas, and Deborah Nelson's
husband, Christian, disappeared months ago. But Deborah has no time
to feel sorry for herself. Two children need her love, livestock
require feeding, and farm crops must be tilled. Deborah is
desperately trying to survive in a man's world-an especially
challenging task for a woman believed to be an Indian.
Even after a drought begins to cause dire conditions, Deborah
refuses to leave, for her soul is still connected with the land.
She decides she must sell her cattle and stop planting wheat and
then finds herself fighting a field fire that comes close to
burning her farmstead and threatens the life of her old friend.
Things go from bad to worse when she, her children, and the
community experience the first horrifying dirt storm of the
drought. Deborah partners with her closest neighbors to share labor
and valuable resources, not realizing that very soon, one neighbor
will leave her with five more mouths to feed and a promise he may
not be able to keep.
The Marrow of Life continues the saga of one woman's determined
journey through the hardships of the Depression and Dust Bowl era
as she slowly comes to the realization that she must turn to others
for help.
