The Wind Will Catch You

Description

In this powerful novel, perfect for fans of It Ends With Us and Mostly Dead Things....

Sky Fielder is a typical college student, except that she is a product of the foster care system, lives in a halfway house, and meets with her caseworker on a weekly basis. While failing to balance her grades and erratic social life, she receives a phone call from a doctor in Arizona, claiming that her brother is in critical care and needs her to make medical decisions on his behalf.

But the only brother she ever had died when she was eight.

Once upon a time, Sky lived a desperate existence in the badlands of West Texas. Her family was poor and beholden to her father's addiction. Her older brother, Ben, was her best friend, teacher, and protector. And their childhood was a series of adventures in the canyons, caves, and dry riverbeds of the desert.

But a shocking moment of violence sent the siblings into an overburdened foster care system, a system that drove Ben to make a rash decision that would tear them apart forever. Or so Sky thought.

Now, faced with the prospect of a miraculous reunion and helped by Laura--her passionate, artistic, and resourceful caseworker, whose commitment grows beyond the bounds of her job--Sky must overcome the pain of her past to unravel the mystery of what happened to her brother and to redefine her beliefs of home, love, forgiveness, and family.
