Someplace to Call Home

In 1933, what's left of the Turner family - twelve-year-old Hallie and her two brothers - finds itself driving the back roads of rural America. The children have been swept up into a new migratory way of life. America is facing two devastating crises: the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl. Hundreds of thousands of people across the country have lost jobs. Driven by severe economic hardship, thousands of people take to the road to seek whatever work they can find, often splintering fragile families in the process. 

As the Turner children move from town to town, searching for work and trying to cobble togetther the basic necessities of life, they are met with suspiciion and hostility. They are viewd as outsiders in their own country.
