Against the Wind
Jane-Claire’s Personal Salvation

by Dawn C. Crouch

Narrated by: Dana Miller

Production by: Dawn C. Crouch

Powerful and Moving Story!

Jane-Claire Stevens is a naïve fifteen-year-old with high aspirations of becoming a filmmaker.  That is until a devastating hurricane hits her community wiping out everything she knows and loves.  Along with her mother and brother, Jane-Claire relocates to a city that is less than friendly.  Her father, a doctor remains behind.  Feeling alienated in her new home, she discovers that her BFF is trying to survive in the hurricane-ravaged area.  Bent on rescuing her friend and others, Jane-Claire tries to return.  However, before she can save anyone, she must do some growing up and be less naïve, more trusting, and accept help when it comes.    

This book was action-packed, and filled with realistic moments of sadness, fear, frustration, and more.  The author, Dawn C. Crouch, is magnificent.  She captures the essence of the situation and people relaying their intense feelings expertly and accurately.  She is gifted in painting a complete picture with words.  Each character was well developed and held a significant role in the story.  This story has stayed with me for several days now. 

The narrator, Dana Miller, gives an exceptional and touching performance moving the story along smoothly.  Miller gives each character a voice that reflects their personality, role, and essence. I thought her cadence was well-timed and kept the listener listening. 

This is the second book I have listened to by Dawn Crouch and I was not disappointed! 

There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook, it was clear and concise.
