The Wind Shifting West tells the story of a young girl, Nell, who is trying to find her way in a world that is constantly changing. Nell is a Navajo girl living in the 1920s, and she is constantly fighting against the white settlers who are trying to take over her land. Nell has to deal with the problems that come with being a minority in a white world, and she also has to try to find a way to live in the new world that is coming. The Wind Shifting West is a story about the power of tradition, the importance of family, and the danger of trusting somebody who is not always fair. It is a story about the courage it takes to stand up to the odds, and the importance of staying true to who you are.; 8vo; 247 pages.
