The Wind Knows My Name

Vienna, 1938. Samuel Adler is five years old when his father disappears during Kristallnacht - the night his family loses everything. Determined to get her child to safety, Samuel's mother secures a spot for him on a Kindertransport train out of Nazi-occupied Austria to England. He boards alone, carrying nothing but a change of clothes and his treasured violin. Arizona, 2019. Eight decades later, Anita Diaz and her mother board another train, fleeing looming danger in El Salvador and seeking refuge in the United States.
But their arrival coincides with the new family separation policy. Torn from her mother and alone at a camp in Nogales, seven-year-old Anita escapes reality to Azabahar, a magical world of the imagination. Intertwining past and present, The Wind Knows My Name traces the ripple effects of war and immigration to tell an unforgettable story of family, home and sacrifice - a testament to the children who survive the most unfathomable dangers and never stop dreaming.
