Sisters in the Wind by Angeline Boullay

Join us as we read and discuss this daring new mystery about a foster teen claiming her heritage on her own terms!

A Good Morning America Book Club Pick!

From the instant New York Times bestselling author of Firekeeper''s Daughter and Warrior Girl Unearthed comes a daring new mystery about a foster teen claiming her heritage on her own terms.

Ever since Lucy Smith''s father died five years ago, "home" has been more of an idea than a place. She knows being on the run is better than anything waiting for her as a "ward of the state". But when the sharp-eyed and kind Mr. Jameson with an interest in her case comes looking for her, Lucy wonders if hiding from her past will ever truly keep her safe.

Five years in the foster system has taught her to be cautious and smart. But she wants to believe Mr. Jameson and his "friend-not-friend", a tall and fierce-looking woman who say they want to look after her. They also tell Lucy the truth her father hid from her: She is Ojibwe; she has - had - a sister, and more siblings, a grandmother who''d look after her and a home where she would be loved.

But Lucy is being followed. The past has destroyed any chance at safety she had. Will the secrets she''s hiding swallow her whole and take away any hope for the future she always dreamed of?

When the past comes for revenge, it''s fight or flight.

Angeline Boulley''s award-winning canon of books puts compelling characters and fast-paced action at the center of narratives rich in historical context. Read Firekeeper''s Daughte r; Warrior Girl Unearthed; and the soon-to-be-released Sisters of the Wind in any order; but like the world itself, there are echoes within each for the other stories.
