Don't Let the Wind Catch You — Aaron Paul Lazar

When young Gus LeGarde befriends Tully, a cranky old hermit in the woods who speaks to an Indian spirit, he wonders if the man is nuts. But when the spirit rattles tin cups, draws on dusty mirrors, and flips book pages, pestering him to find evidence to avenge her past, things change fast. What Gus doesn't understand is why his mother hates Tully and forbids him to see the old man. What could Tully have possibly done to earn this distrust? Faced with long-buried family secrets and danger, Gus summons courage beyond his years in this poignant and powerful telling of the sultry summer of 1965. "Gus LeGarde's latest adventure along with twins, Elsbeth and Siegfried, is a wild ride of intrigue, enchantment and compassion. Lazar is a consummate storyteller whose compelling characters transcend age and beliefs as he takes the reader on a journey of self-discovery." Deborah J. Ledford, author of Snare, The Hillerman Sky Award Finalist "Once again, Lazar shows his incredible talent as a writer through the wonderfully diverse cast of characters he introduces us to. ...Don't Let the Wind Catch You was thoroughly enjoyable, and I can't recommend it enough. Trust me, you won't be able to put it down " Cindy Guest Taylor, Allbooks Reviews International
