Set during the Great Depression, the novel focuses on the Joads, a poor family of tenant farmers driven from their home by drought, economic hardship, and changes in financial and agricultural industries. Due to their nearly hopeless situation and in part because they were trapped in the Dust Bowl, the Joads set out for California. Along with thousands of other 'Okie', they sought jobs, land, dignity, and a future. Steinbeck was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Literature in 1940 for this novel.
