The Wind Racer

With a single fateful act, Wash Camden's life is changed forever. His cherished dream dangles like a yellowed leaf fluttering in the changing winds of autumn. Leaving his comfortable world behind, Wash travels a turbulent new trail. It carries him through the perils of the Underground Railroad, bitter battles over class and slavery, and the tempting serenity of the life of Ralph Waldo Emerson. At the end of the trail Wash encounters the unsinkable Irish immigrant, Kate Kavanagh, and ultimately, the source of her power. The trail of Wash Camden is the trail of transformation. Its final destination is the truth that our dreams are not always the dreams of The Dreamer.
