Everyone runs on secrets

All of our life stories depend on secrets. High school is supposed to be fun and exciting—you have friends, healthy relationships, and a supportive family. However, for a group of ninth graders, high school is nothing more than a disaster. Adam, Jake, Madison, Dakota, Hannah; pregnancies, break-ups, secret crushes, betrayal. These adolescents have their own stories; their own secrets. Katiy, Chad, Dan, Brittney, Mike, Mrs. Gonzales; divorce, marriage, crime, infidelity. These adults have secrets of their own which are too frightening to divulge. In The Way The Wind Blows, all these characters' lives are intertwined in ways unimagined by the secrets that haunt them. These secrets either tear them all apart or bring them together.
