Ever wonder why you were in a certain place at a certain time? Did you realize that it couldn't possibly have been a mere coincidence? A Prayer In The Wind shares the story of Josiah. It is the first book of a trilogy that describes the journey of a young man who suddenly, when an avalanche takes the life of his parents (on his eleventh birthday) finds himself alone in the world. Taken in by the town's hag (actually she is the town's healer and sage); Josiah is set upon a life journey that no one could ever expect.
