In 1852, Noemí Rodriguez, a wealthy thirteen-year-old Mexican girl, suddenly has to leave her family and home to escape a threatening gang of desperadoes. Hoping to reunite with her family in America, she and her horse, Viento, must find their way to the border alone. Along the way, she meets a child who needs her help, but befriending him puts her back on the radar of the sinister gang. Making it to America alive will require courage, strength, and help. But who will help her? Why was this happening to her? Will she see her beloved family again? Riding the Wind is a coming-of-age adventure about family, friendship, loss, love, perseverance, starting over, and seasons of life.
