Sinopsis

It&rsquo,s the Depression and it&rsquo,s rural Kansas. For good measure, nature decides to throw in a Dust Bowl. It&rsquo,s not the life Cat Peters would have chosen, but the young Mennonite girl doesn&rsquo,t have much say in it.Driven to the edge of bankruptcy by the relentless winds of the Dust Bowl, Cat',s family is desperate. Fortunately, wealthy Simon Yoder generously saves them with a loan. Everyone gets something more out of the arrangement than what they bargain for. Cat',s father gains a start back from the edge and the shame that he can',t provide for his family. Cat&rsquo,s older brother goes to work for Simon to pay off the family debts and learns lots of new ideas. And Simon gets the debt repaid and casts a sticky net over the Peters family.So in the end, everyone loses.Still the rains don&rsquo,t come. Without rain, there is no wheat.áSo Cat, too, goes to the Yoder&rsquo,s to clean and cook and do whatever the hired girls do. It turns out the hired girls at the Yoder house do a lot more than cook and clean, for Simon Yoder is a man who steals the souls of young girls.And now Cat has slipped into his hands.
