Colorado Territory, 1860. On a wind-swept slope in the Cataline foothills, two hard-bitten drovers find a black-haired little girl picking wildflowers, lost and alone. Miles away, three murdering outlaws pull another orphaned child from the wreckage of her family's wagon. Two girls. Two brutal beginnings. One unforgiving frontier that will bind their fates together.
Winds of the Heart, Volume I: The Storm is a sweeping saga of survival, cruelty, and hard-won love in the American West. As these children grow up in a land where kindness and violence ride side by side, they must learn who to trust, what to forgive, and how to hold on to their hearts when everything around them is trying to break them.
Rich with authentic frontier detail and unforgettable characters, this is old-fashioned Western storytelling with real emotional stakes, for readers of Louis L'Amour, Larry McMurtry, and anyone who loves an epic that earns its tears.
The first volume in the Winds of the Heart series. Contains frontier violence.
