Describe The Family's struggle for survival in the Promised Land, be it California or America? Describe the following question using page numbers from the book?

California was the Promised Land: it was the Biblical land of milk and honey. Unfortunately human beings run the Promised Land and, as a Biblical allusion, man is fallen and broken. The migrants make it to the land of Eden but man has already been corrupted. There is no promise to be had for the migrants in California.
