Review of Paint the Wind

 Maya is a captive. In Grandmother's house in California, every word and action is strictly monitored, and even Maya's memories of her mother have been erased--except within the imaginary world she has created. A world away, in the rugged Wyoming wilderness, a tobiano Paint horse called Artemisia runs free, belonging only to the stars. She embodies the spirit of the wild--and she holds the key to Maya's memories. How Maya's and Artemisia's lives intertwine, like a braided rein is at the heart of this richly drawn adventure about captivity and freedom, about holding on and letting go.


I really liked this book, because it was a story of hope and courage. I really liked how they were able to create the scenery of Wyoming. When I first read this book I sat reading it straight threw for hours! I've read it several times and it is still exciting every time that I've read it. I would highly recommend it for anyone who enjoy books on adventure, horses, and survival! I would give this 4 stars!  :)
