Publisher's Summary
"I am a woman who once was a girl who learned to meet her fears."
A stirring, golden year of childhood forges a woman's heart in the fictional coming-of-age story, Windhorse.
Edie, a wife, mother, and teacher, faces a threatening medical diagnosis. Sparked by a bold girl flying by on a bicycle, vivid memories from Edie's momentous last year of childhood rise to the surface in this lyrical novel.
Windhorse unfolds in 1981, as Edie, 11, and her teenage sister move with their parents from California to an 1840s farmhouse by the enticing Cold River in Vermont. Edie dreams of orbiting in the space shuttle as a mission specialist. Privately, she names her treasured beach cruiser "Windhorse". As Edie explores her quaint village, questions begin to swirl about a haunted barn, a girl's unexplained death from long ago, a bicycle that vanishes, and a twice-stolen headstone.
Edie learns painful secrets from her Japanese-American mother's past, while grappling with her sister's emotional anguish and perilous encounter with a village foe. The dangers of the Cold River test Edie's grit and resolve. Key events of her life-altering year converge in a disastrous storm and wash far into Edie's adult life.
Windhorse reveals the compelling memories, tender bonds of love, and affecting losses that shape one heart. Told by a warm and thoughtful woman rediscovering her sense of courage, this vibrant story will captivate listeners who recall the thrill of childhood adventures and know the pull of close family ties.
Narrated by Grace Gonglewski. Produced by Mark Schultz, CAS, at The Surround Mix Group.
