The wind knows my name

VIENNA, 1938. Samuel Adler is five years oíd when his father disappears during Kristallnacht—the night his family loses everything. As her child’s safety becomes ever harder to guarantee, Samuel’s mother secures a spot for him on a Kindertransport train out of Nazi-occupied Austria to England. He boards alone, carrying nothing but a change of clothes and his violin. ARIZONA, 2019. Eight decades later, Anita Díaz and her mother have boarded another train, fleeing looming danger in El Salvador and seeking refuge in the United States. But their arrival coincides with the new family separation policy, and seven-year-old Anita finds herself alone at a camp in Nogales. She escapes her tenuous reality through her trips to Azabahar, a magical world of the imagination. Meanwhile, Selena Duran, a young social worker, enlists the help of a suecessful lawyer in hopes of tracking down Anita’s mother. Intertwining past and present, The Wind Knows My Ñame tells the tale of these two unforgettable characters, both in search of family and home. It is a testament to the sacrifices that parents make and a love letter to the children who survive the most un- fathomable danger s—and never stop dreaming.
