In Defense of the Wind (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798257146558)

Bishop Foster, a seventeen-year-old black boy from the shady groves of Woolfell, Mississippi, has spent most of his life hiding from the sun. Living only to die, he sees no future out there in the world for him. All he has is his close friend Lucky, who longs to shoot for the stars. Yet all he can see is the same dirt path he's always walked. However, everything changes for Bishop when Lucky's older brother, Gale, returns to town. He's practically a stranger, long forgotten, but the ground beneath him seems to part and blossom at his feet, welcoming him home. Bishop wants to learn everything he can from Gale, this mysterious individual who neither fits in or out. The two teach each other more than they ever could have thought. But it's tornado season in Mississippi, and the sky can't stay clear forever.
