The 2 sisters Della and Avis along with their brother Dalton are raised by their daddy on a farm on the coast of Canada. In the South we label this non productive farm as hardscrabble, so I knew the poor lifestyle inflected in the title. Their determination to reach a level of survival is the essence of the book, their determination to succeed will keep you enthralled and your interest high.
The time line is from 1916 until the present. I'm sure it will be amazing to some who read the book how closely aligned their thoughts are to those of modern times, enjoy.
