An Indies Introduce Selection

Red’s inexplicable power over the wind comes from her mother. Whenever Ruby "Red" Byrd is scared or angry, the wind picks up. And being placed in foster care, moving from family to family, tends to keep her skies stormy. Red knows she has to learn to control it, but can’t figure out how.

This time, the wind blows Red into the home of the Grooves, a quirky couple who run a petting zoo, complete with a dancing donkey and a giant tortoise. With their own curious gifts, Celine and Jackson Groove seem to fit like a puzzle piece into Red’s heart.

But just when Red starts to settle into her new life, a fresh storm rolls in, one she knows all too well: her mother. For so long, Red has longed to have her mom back in her life, and she’s quickly swept up in the vortex of her mother’s chaos. Now, Red must discover the possible in the impossible if she wants to overcome her own tornadoes and find the family she needs.

Beautiful plot and timing

Amazing timeing and wording of events! Beautiful timing of events working up to the very end

A very special story

My son read this book in his tenth grade class and begged me to download the audiobook so we could listen together. I was not sure what I was expecting but this book was absolutely perfect. The story is emotional and powerful. It has been written beautifully and the narrator is perfect. I am so glad I listened to this story. While I truly enjoyed the story, I also appreciated the opportunity to discuss difficult but important subjects with my son.
