Synopsis
Red’s inexplicable power over the wind comes from her mother. Whenever Ruby “Red” Byrd is scared or angry, the wind picks up. And being placed in foster care, moving from family to family, tends to keep the skies stormy. Red knows she has to learn how to control it, but can't figure out how.
This time, the wind blows Red into the home of the Grooves, a quirky couple who run a petting zoo, complete with a dancing donkey and a giant tortoise. With their own curious gifts, Celine and Jackson Groove seem to fit like a puzzle piece into Red’s heart.
But just when Red starts to settle into her new life, a fresh storm rolls in, one she knows all too well: her mother. For so long, Red has longed to have her mom back in her life, and she’s quickly swept up in the vortex of her mother’s chaos. Now Red must decide the possible from the impossible if she wants to overcome her own tornadoes and find the family she needs.

Bel histoire de famille
Une très belle histoire avec une écriture magnifique, pleine de poésie. J'ai été très touchée par l'histoire de Red et j'ai même pleuré plusieurs fois. Par contre, j'ai trouvé parfois quelques longueurs et répétitions dans le récit. Cela n'enlève en rien que c'est un roman qui aborde des sujets importants, durs, avec justesse et espoir. 16/20
