A GIRL EASILY carried off by the wind.<br><br>An elderly widow whose husband died under strange circumstances.<br><br>An isolated dwelling that breeds fear.<br><br>Miranda has no recollection of where she came from - only that years ago, a gust of wind deposited her outside Bourne Manor. The Manor's sole inhabitant, Wysteria Barrows, took Miranda in and promptly outfitted her with special boots - boots weighted with steel bars to keep her anchored to the ground. But aside from shelter and clothing, Miranda receives little warmth from the aging widow. The Manor, too, is a cold place, full of drafts and locked doors. Full of menace. Full of secrets. <br><br>Then one day a boy named Farley appears. Farley helps Miranda embrace her destiny with the wind . . . and uncover the Manor's hidden past.<br><br><br><i>From the Hardcover edition.</i>
