ALL THE WIND IN THE WORLD by Samantha Mabry is a young adult
romance. Combining relatable characters, a western feel, and
a plot that is easy to get lost in makes this book an
enjoyable read.
The cover is beautifully designed and gives you a hint at
what reading this book has to offer. Mabry writes with a
lyrical style that instantly draws you in and leaves you
wanting more. A fresh take on a traditional young adult
romance novel but with a western touch giving this novel a
new take. The story follows along two main characters named
Sarah Jac and James. Together they have worked the fields
for years with the main goal of saving money. After making
one mistake on the last ranch that could cause them to be
killed, they are on the run and looking for another ranch or
farm to work. They love each other but this must remain a
secret between the two of them due to the fear of what will
happen to them if anyone was to find out. Instead, they tell
everyone they are cousins.
As the drama of the story unfolds the story goes through
many twists, turns, and unexpected surprises. The western
backdrop is the perfect setting for this plot to unfold as
the world around them grows hotter, water is scarce, and
work needs to be done. The desert is simple and dull during
the day but full of dark secrets lurking in the shadows at
night. ALL THE WIND IN THE WORLD is a fast-paced read that
is packed with adventure and the fear of the unknown. A
great read that has an unexpected ending full of hope and an
unexpected twist.
Keep your eyes open . . . your head down . . . and your
love secret.
Sarah Jac Crow and James Holt have fallen in love working
in the endless fields that span a bone-dry Southwest in
the near-future—a land that’s a little bit magical, deeply
dangerous, and bursting with secrets. To protect
themselves, they’ve learned to work hard and—above all—
keep their love hidden from the people who might use it
against them. Then, just when Sarah Jac and James have
settled in and begun saving money for the home they dream
of near the coast, a horrible accident sends them on the
run. With no choice but to start over on a new, possibly
cursed ranch, the delicate balance of their lives begins
to give way—and they may have to pay a frighteningly high
price for their love.
