- Summary:
- "Following a prison term he served for manslaughter, Tom Joad returns to find his homestead overwhelmed by weather - and a greedy banking industry. Seeing virtually no work potential on the horizon after the Oklahoma dust bowls, the entire family packs up and heads for the promised land - California. But the arduous trip and harsh living conditions they encounter offer little hope, and family unity proves as daunting a challenge as any other the Joads face."--Container
