Red Wagon by Ramirez Paul (6 results)

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Texas, 1936. A widow. Six children. And a road with no end in sight. When Ernesto Solis dies and the bank takes the farm, Martha Solis does the only thing left to do: she walks. With her six children - the oldest barely a teenager, the youngest two riding in a battered red wagon - she sets out across New Mexico on Route 66, bound for the promise of California and the San Joaquin Valley. When a photographer pulls over and offers her a ride, Martha says no - and keeps walking. That decision, captured in a single photograph, will echo for generations. THE RED WAGON is the story behind that image: a sweeping, intimate portrait of one woman's quiet, unbreakable will, tracing Martha's life from the hard Texas borderlands through the Depression, the war years, a second marriage, and the long decades that follow - all the way to a museum in Washington, D.C., where a worn and weathered wagon sits behind glass, and strangers stop to write down what it makes them feel. Inspired by the real history of Dust Bowl migration and the photographers who documented it, Paul Ramirez's novel asks what it means to keep moving when every reason to stop seems more powerful than any reason to go on - and what it means to give your children not safety, but example. She walked. She didn't stop. This is how things last. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
