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.
