Paint the Wind

Maya has lived a very sheltered life with her grandmother hovering around her and directing her life. Her past is kept secret and Maya soon learns that any questions she is brave enough to ask will not be answered. Her life takes a dramatic turn when her grandmother dies and his lawyer tells Maya that she has another family in the wilds of Wyoming. A family and a past which her grandmother has kept hidden from her.

  1. Horseback-riding is a popular sport for many of the girls at my school. These horse lovers LOVE books about horses, and as a librarian, I buy as many horse stories as I can. This book will appeal to many students, but those who love and ride horses will especially be able to relate to it.
