“A powerfully moving story.”— Chicago Daily News

In 1932, American's dreams were a job, food to eat, a place to sleep, and shoes without holes. But for millions of people these simple needs were nothing more than dreams.

This is the story of a young man’s struggle to find a life for himself in the most turbulent of times.
