The boy who ran like the wind (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781662842689)

"The Boy who ran like the Wind", is a fable, second in a series between family and their children living near the ocean, written by Leah Kelly. Winston lives with his mother and grandfather in a little cottage on an island on the South Seas. His mother recognizes her son's skill of being a fast runner, and tells him it is a special gift. A boy, 'who runs like the wind', will be called upon one day to use that gift to help others. She explains that every child has a special gift and you just need to find it. Living an idyllic life, a sudden event tests Winston's resolve and leaves him with lasting sacrifices. The book explains the bravery of the people living on two islands, side by side, for generations. It also explores the innocence of a first love and how love conquers all. Finally, it shares a story of courage, honor, and the strength of family ties in life's pursuits. Leah Kelly, writing under a pen name, started writing at an early age. Born in Brazil, her family moved to the United States when she was young. She has lived most of her life in Annapolis, where she raised two sons, and continues to practice law for over 35 years in Maryland. She spends time writing on the Delaware shore, and this is her second book in a series of family and ocean. Destined to be an instant classic, this story of love, courage, and sacrifice, was inspired by her sons. She dedicates this book to the Grael Project in Niteroi Brazil.
