"Everyone runs on secrets... All of our life stories depend on secrets.... High school is supposed to be fun and exciting-you have friends, healthy relationships, and a supportive family. However, for a group of ninth graders, high school is nothing more than a disaster. Adam, Jake, Madison, Dakota, Hannah; pregnancies, break-ups, secret crushes, betrayal. These adolescents have their own stories; their own secrets. Katie, Chad, Rob, Brittney, Mike, Mrs. Gonzales; divorce, marriage, crime, infidelity. These adults have secrets of their own which are too frightening to divulge." And with the murder investigation going on about Adam's cousin, the secrets are about to be exposed one by one; and danger is lurking around in the wind. "In The Way The Wind Blows, all these characters' lives are intertwined in ways unimagined by the secrets that haunt them. These secrets either tear them all apart or bring them together."
