When Reverend Joseph plucks a gravely wounded child from the mean streets of Manhattan's rough Five Points District, he intends to give her a real home. And though Kassandra flourishes in the preacher's house, learning Bible verses at his knee and going to school, as a young teenager she makes the first of many devastating decisions, running away from the only haven she's ever known.

With great attention to detail, Allison Pittman shows the misery of the historic Five Points District during the 1840s and gives unique views into the underhanded and terrible ways people often employed to survive the overwhelming poverty. Kassandra's journey will draw you in. Complete with realistic, flawed characters, Speak through the Wind is The Prodigal Son retold. It offers hope to anyone who feels themselves beyond hope.
