Juliet, a Native American teenager desiring the simple
things in life ends up getting way more than she bargains for at sixteen. Wanting the best education possible for her
daughter; Summer, Juliet’s mom, switches her to a school that lacks
diversity. For poor Juliet, fitting in, has
been no easy task. In-fact, it’s basically a lost cause.
Sicheii, her grandfather, proudly embraces his native
heritage. Once very close to him, Juliet
finds herself embarrassed by his cultural practices and way of life. Like most working single moms, Summer does
the best she can do to provide for herself and her only daughter. Unhappy about her school change, Juliet
becomes angry about her mom’s decision to have Sicheii house sit while she tends to
work related business out of town.
Despising the whole private school
experience; she decides the following morning to ditch school and avoid the phony atmosphere of Bartens High School. Missing her old school environment and friends, she relies on her best friend Troy to help her escape her current reality.
Unfortunately, their time together this particular day goes from sweet
to sour due to an unexpected confrontation with some drunken teens. Although the two of them safely escape the
situation; Juliet, that same day notices some unique differences about herself
that definitely distinguish her from the typical teen.
No longer able to avoid the unique things taking place
within her, Juliet finds herself discovering undisclosed secrets which result
to her rekindling the bond she once had with her grandfather. From discovering the truth about the murder
of Medicine Man Roundtree in their local town; to realizing Sicheii's
unconditional love and pure reasoning behind his "over the top"
protection of her, Juliet's journey in the Wind Catcher keeps the reader
turning the pages of this book anticipating more action to come.
