Catching the Wind
by Melanie Dobson is a story of one man’s determination to find his childhood
friend and fulfill a promise. The story opens in Germany July 1940 where
Dietmar Roth, 13, is playing with his friend, Brigitte, when men come to take
him away. At his mother’s urging, Dietmar and Brigitte run. Fast forward to
2017, Quenby Vaughn is a reporter for the World News Syndicate where she is on
the story of Lady Ricker and the rumor that she help spy on the Britain for the
Nazis. She gets a call from Lucas Hough, a lawyer for wealthy businessman,
Daniel Knight. They have a job proposition for her. Mr. Knight is Dietmar who
changed his name when he arrived in England in October 1940. He and Brigitte
were separated after their arrival in England and he has been searching for her
ever since. As Quenby begins her search, she learns about their dangerous
journey from Germany to England. She also learns that Brigitte’s story may be tied
to Lady Ricker’s activities during the war. As she gets closer to find
Brigitte, Quenby gets the sense that something or someone is trying to stop
her. Will she be able to find Brigitte and reunite the two friends? Will she
discover the secrets hidden for 70 years?
Catching the Wind
is a beautiful story of a lifelong search, of promises kept intertwined with
the dark days of World War II. It is a story of redemption and the truth about
a family’s past. It was filled with twists and turns, surprise after surprise.
I read this book over the course of two days. I could not put it down. I sat on
the edge of my seat as I turned the pages eager to see if Quenby would find
Brigitte and renuite her with Daniel. I highly, highly recommend Catching the Wind!
