Henry ... The background for the letters is pure fiction"--Foreword.  aRelease date is 2024-11-07  aMary Glenn Krause, Branka P and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive/American Libraries.)  a"Wind of Destiny" by Sara Lindsay Coleman Porter is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Caroline Howard, who reflects on her life, her relationships, and the aspirations that stretch beyond her small mountain town. At the heart of the narrative is her younger cousin, Dicky, whose adventurous spirit contrasts with Caroline's sense of contentment in her routine, inviting themes of love, ambition, and self-discovery.  At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the inner world of Caroline, who is both a schoolteacher and a contemplative woman approaching her 30th birthday. She anxiously awaits letters from her spirited cousin, Dicky, who has taken a bold step into the bustling life of New York City. The opening letters reveal Dicky's experiences and feelings, as well as Caroline's deep-seated worries for her cousin's well-being. Caroline's reflections encompass her childhood memories, her home in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and her longing for a richer life beyond the confines of her current existence. As the story unfolds, the dynamics of their correspondence hint at themes of love, nostalgia, and the complexities of female friendships during a time of societal expectations.
