Synopsis The Wind That Did Not Blow by : Tim Doppel
The Feast of Shavuot is approaching, and Jerusalem is on high alert. It has been a mere fifty days (what the Greeks call a Pentecost) since a tumultuous Passover. Unbeknownst to each other, three travelers are making their way to Jerusalem for the festival where their lives will be forever changed when they encounter the Disciples of Jesus of Nazareth in the square beneath the Upper Room. The Disciples of Jesus of Nazareth are about to rock the world of three unsuspecting pilgrims, who are all making their way to Jerusalem for the Feast of Shavuot. Lucius, the brother of Simon the Cyrene, Cadmus, a friend of Pontius Pilate, and Mikaela, a simple Judean potter; each of them has their own purpose for the journey - yet none of them are prepared for the intense spiritual transformation they will experience when they reach the courtyard beneath the Upper Room. In The Wind That Did Not Blow, readers will be transported to a time and place of great turmoil and faith and will be captivated by the lives of these characters as they face unexpected revelations and come together in the name of love.

Synopsis Any Way the Wind Blows by : Rainbow Rowell
New York Times bestselling author Rainbow Rowell's epic fantasy, the Simon Snow trilogy, concludes with Any Way the Wind Blows. In Carry On, Simon Snow and his friends realized that everything they thought they understood about the world might be wrong. And in Wayward Son, they wondered whether everything they understood about themselves might be wrong. Now, Simon and Baz and Penelope and Agatha must decide how to move forward. For Simon, that means choosing whether he still wants to be part of the World of Mages — and if he doesn't, what does that mean for his relationship with Baz? Meanwhile Baz is bouncing between two family crises and not finding any time to talk to anyone about his newfound vampire knowledge. Penelope would love to help, but she's smuggled an American Normal into London, and now she isn't sure what to do with him. And Agatha? Well, Agatha Wellbelove has had enough. Any Way the Wind Blows takes the gang back to England, back to Watford, and back to their families for their longest and most emotionally wrenching adventure yet. This book is a finale. It tells secrets and answers questions and lays ghosts to rest. The Simon Snow Trilogy was conceived as a book about Chosen One stories; Any Way the Wind Blows is an ending about endings—about catharsis and closure, and how we choose to move on from the traumas and triumphs that try to define us.

Synopsis The Wind Blew by : Pat Hutchins
A rhymed tale describing the antics of a capricious wind. The wind blew, and blew, and blew! It blew so hard, it took everything with it: Mr. White’s umbrella, Priscilla’s balloon, the twins’ scarves, even the wig on the judge’s head. But just when the wind was about to carry everything out to sea, it changed its mind! With rhyming verse and colorful illustrations, Pat Hutchins takes us on a merry chase that is well worth the effort.

Synopsis Hear the Wind Blow by : Mary Downing Hahn
On a cold, snowy night, Haswell Magruder makes a decision that will have a profound effect on his own life as well as the lives of all those he loves. A wounded Confederate soldier appears at the family’s Virginia farm, and Haswell convinces his mother and sister to take the man in, despite the certain repercussions if the enemy Yankees were to catch them in such a “traitorous” act. Unfortunately, this is precisely what happens, setting off a horrific chain of events that leaves Haswell’s mother dead and the farmhouse burned to the ground. After leading his younger sister to safety with relatives, Haswell sets out on his journey in search of his older brother, a Confederate soldier. His quest is also a passage into manhood, as he experiences the last bloody days of the Civil War. Skillful storytelling, well-developed characters, and a fast-paced plot distinguish this compelling family story by an award-winning author.

Synopsis So the Wind Won't Blow It All Away by : Richard Brautigan
In a small Pacific Northwest town we meet a young man who has shot dead his best friend with a gun. The novel deals with the repercussions of this tragedy: the anguish, regret, despair and bittersweet romance. Typical of Brautigan's singular style, So the Wind Won't Blow It All Away is a beautifully written, brooding novel. Its autobiographical prose is a fitting epitaph to this complex, contradictory and often misunderstood writer.
