When the Wind Blows

by Laura Bennet

Hurricane Harriet slams Southwest Florida, throwing six high-rise neighbors together in unexpected ways. Alec and Jessica Freeman’s marital strife escalates, and Jessica's secret isn't helping. Dylan Davis writes books about missing children to compensate for the daughter he lost. Why is he haunted by his past again? Free-spirited Bailey Crenshaw left home at sixteen, but in the midst of the crisis, she finds family with strangers. Is there still purpose for retired folks Ralph and Edith Manning, or is the upper eighties a downhill race to the end? In the aftermath of devastation, each of them discovers that weathering a storm together is better than surviving alone.

About the author

Laura Bennet blogs and writes books about hope, healing, and redemption. Her first book, The Miracle of Us: Confessions of an Online Dater, shares the story of how she and her Aussie husband met online through a Christian dating site back before it was popular. Laura enjoyed forty years as an educator in various settings. She also owned a pizza restaurant, coached gymnastics and hockey, wrote reports for a private investigator, sold tuxedos, and home-schooled six of her seven children. A life highlight was speaking at a woman’s conference in Athens, Greece. She adores her husband, seven adult children and eleven grandchildren. Although she’s lived most of her life on California’s west coast, she currently makes her home in balmy, Southwest Florida with her husband. When she’s not walking on the beach, photographing nature, or sipping her weekly peppermint mocha, she loves to connect with her readers. She also offers help and encouragement with writing through her “Real Time Writers” Facebook group, and has published literature guides for home and classroom educators.

Laura did it again. Another wonderful novel. I can always picture each character fully and feel like I'm in the story with them. I love how we see these characters' faith. Some have strong faith, some are new in their walk with the Lord, some struggle with their faith and some are angry with God. I feel like I've gotten to see Jesus's heart in all of these characters and how he never left their side. Great read!!

Another Page-Turner!

Laura Bennet’s book was a delight to read. Each storyline was fully fleshed out as was each of the endearing characters. I was captivated from beginning to end. Laura Bennet’s writing is superb, and I highly recommend this faith-filled book.
