A White Wind Blew

Dr. Wolfgang Pike would love nothing more than to finish the requiem he’s composing for his late wife, but the ending seems as hopeless as the patients dying a hundred yards away at the Waverly Hills Tuberculosis sanatorium.

If he can’t ease his own pain with music, he tries to ease theirs—but his boss thinks music is a waste, and in 1920s Louisville, the specter of racial tensions looms over everything. When a retired concert pianist arrives, Wolfgang is thrust into an orchestra of the most extraordinary kind that emerges to change everything.

Beautiful historical fiction

Loved this beautiful story or triumph and pain, of racism and faith, but at its core is the overwhelming theme of the power of music, and how it can heal and create that place where hope resides

Life Changing

When you have read an infinite number of books of all genres. To say one of those books will never leave you, speaks of a greatness in writing and storytelling rarely found. This book is one. What a beautiful gift to share with us all. My gratitude is immeasurable.
