Whirlwinds Whirl Around

. . . Time just stood still for me and Momma and Daddy . . . I tried to figure out what to do, but I couldn't . . . Stood still right in the middle of a whirlwind blowing all around me something fierce.

And I couldn't get the whirlwind to stop.

In one tragic moment, Mindy's life changes from pure happiness to whirlwinds of confusion and difficulty. Her brother's sudden death sends her searching for answers to help her accept what the mind knows but the heart can't understand about pain and grief.

With an unlikely friend, Amos, Mindy embarks upon a journey for knowledge. A tree house, a butterfly and a puppy lead them into a world of fantasy where rainbow trees help them cope with grief. Through the revelations in this place of wonder and with the help of the adults in their lives, Mindy and Amos are guided to a discovery they both so desperately need-one which is far greater than what reality may reveal.
