Where the Wind Blows

Chandler Ducrothas spent seventeen years in the foster care system alongside his older brother. Since the age of ten, he has found himself entangled in frequent brushes with the law due to running away from less-than-desirable foster homes. One night, he is picked up by the police and placed in a foster home that is described to him as the best emergency placement anyone at the station has ever seen. He discovers that his new foster parents are both employed at a prestigious boarding school where his foster father serves as the dean of students, and his foster mother teaches English. Now living at the boarding school, Chandler finds himself facing an entirely new set of challenges.

Larke Leighton is assigned to mentor Chandler. Sent to Cresthaven Academy by her parents after their divorce, it is the only place that feels like home now.

While both struggle to open up due to their troubled pasts, their shared experiences gradually create an unbreakable bond. Chandler views the school as a temporary refuge until he can break free from the system, while Larke is terrified to graduate and be alone in the world.

As their connection deepens, Chandler and Larke navigate their respective challenges, discovering that love and trust can heal wounds that once seemed permanent.
