Paint the Wind

Paint the Wind, by Pam Munoz Ryan
 
A shocking turn of events finds Maya going to live in Wyoming with her mother's family whom she has not seen since she was a baby. It is a summer of new beginnings, living in a tent, riding horses and learning to get along with a cousin who is an annoying nuisance. Woven into Maya's narrative is the story of a herd of wild horses, including the mare her mother once rode, and whose survival becomes intertwined with Maya's own.
