A character-driven novel about the unlikely friendship between a 10-year-old boy and an elderly woman. The old woman badgers the boy into taking her sailing, but when the weather turns bad, it becomes a wild sail. It becomes the last trip before she goes into the hospital where she dies: but not before the two of them share memories of their last sail together. Hazel helps build the boy''s confidence during a tough time in his home life. Both moving and joyful, Into the Wind is a poignant story about loss and love in a boy''s life, and the surprising and sustaining bonds that can grow between the old and young.
