With a family always on the move, popularity and the ability to fit in quickly are vital to Brent Bishop s high school survival. When he blows his chances with the girl of his dreams in front of everyone, he s devastated. Brent tries to end it all in a fatal car crash, but instead he finds an unlikely beginning. He s sent on a journey of repentance a cross-country trip building whirligigs. His wind toys are found by people in need: a Maine schoolgirl yearning for her first love, a Miami street-sweeper desperate for peace and quiet, a kid in Washington who just wants to play baseball, and a San Diego teenager dealing with loss. Brent s whirligigs bring hope to others, but will they be able to heal the wounds deep inside himself?
