The Wind Knows My Name (Published 2023)
"Some stories transcend time and borders, connecting hearts across generations."
This powerful novel weaves together two parallel stories of children separated from their families during times of crisis. In 1938 Vienna, five-year-old Samuel Adler is sent on a Kindertransport to London to escape the Nazis, leaving behind his mother and everything he knows. Decades later, Anita Díaz, a young girl from El Salvador, flees violence in her homeland and becomes separated from her mother at the US-Mexico border.
Both children face the trauma of displacement and the challenge of rebuilding their lives in foreign lands. Samuel grows up in wartime Britain, while Anita navigates the complex American immigration system. Their stories, though separated by time and geography, are united by themes of resilience, hope, and the enduring power of human connection.
Through the lives of Samuel and Anita, this novel explores the universal experience of refugees and immigrants, showing how love and determination can triumph over the most difficult circumstances. It's a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the importance of compassion in our divided world.
A deeply moving story that reminds us that despite our differences, we are all connected by our shared humanity.
