Crying Wind

Description

In her first book, Crying Wind, the author shares her troubled beginning as “the accidental offspring of two people who hated each other.” “I never saw my father’s face, because he abandoned my mother before I was born, and she hated him for it.”

At 15, Crying Wind was forced to move to a large city after the death of her grandmother. Friendless and penniless, she attempts suicide. Paging through the yellow pages, she recognizes a church’s address. The encouragement and love of the pastor and his wife help Crying Wind to accept herself and appreciate her own worth.
