Walks With the Wind
Sam Cloud-Carson has a good life. A rising baseball star with scouts filling the stands, he’s also the most skilled wildlife tracker in his Southern Ute tribe. Grounded in family, tradition, and the Colorado wilderness he loves, Sam’s future seems wide open.
Drake Dixon has other plans. The ruthless head of DiamondBar Security sees Sam not as a young man with talent, but as a valuable asset. If Sam can be convinced to work for him, his tracking gifts could unlock unimaginable profit in the dangerous mountains of Afghanistan.
When tragedy strikes, Sam is forced into Drake’s world and thrust into a conflict far from home. What follows is a tense journey across cultures and continents, where survival depends on instinct, and every choice tests Sam’s loyalty, faith, and sense of self.
Walks with the Wind is a gripping, character-driven novel for readers who enjoy inspirational coming-of-age fiction, Native American literary fiction, and suspenseful stories of survival, identity, and redemption.
