Immerse yourself in the captivating world of "The Wind Knows My Name," a gripping novel by the renowned New York Times bestselling author of "A Long Petal of the Sea." This powerful and emotional story intertwines the lives of two children, separated by decades and continents, yet connected by the enduring impact of war and immigration.
In 1938 Vienna, six-year-old Samuel Adler faces the devastation of losing his father during Kristallnacht. With his mother's determination, he embarks on a journey aboard the Kindertransport to the United Kingdom, carrying only his violin and a change of clothes.
Fast forward to 2019 Arizona, where seven-year-old Anita Diaz and her mother flee danger in El Salvador, seeking safety in the United States. However, Anita's arrival coincides with the heart-wrenching family separation policy, leaving her alone in a Nogales camp. Through her vivid imagination and visits to Azabahar, a magical world she created with her sister, Anita finds solace and strength.
Enter Selena Duran, a dedicated young social worker, and a skilled lawyer from San Francisco, who join forces to reunite Anita with her family. Their investigation uncovers a surprising connection between Anita and Leticia Cordero, who works for the elderly Samuel Adler in the United States, bridging the gap between these two remarkable lives.
