IN MY OPINION
A Kite on the Wind is another novel by Patricia Lee with adorable children, a hurting hero and heroine, and a budding romance. And this time, readers get an extra-large dose of the adorable with twins.
Lee has a knack for writing stories filled with emotion as well as great information about topics you might not know much about. This particular book gives readers an insider view of whale migration from Alaska to California and the NOAA employees who follow them to record their numbers. And if that weren’t enough education, there’s also plenty in there about kidney transplants and donors.
But this story shines because of its characters. A widowed father grieving for his wife, a lonely teacher with a heart of gold, to hurting children whose lives have been upended, and another sweet little girl all make this story heart deep. I also appreciate how the romance in these books develop over time (more than a year in this novel).
The series may have concluded, but I’ll be on the lookout for more wonderfully emotional reads from this author.
