The Place Beyond the Winds

"The Place Beyond the Winds" by Harriet T. Comstock is a story set in the early 1900s about a girl named Priscilla Glenn growing up in the Canadian countryside. Priscilla feels stuck between what her dad, Nathaniel Glenn, who is a pretty strict farmer, wants for her and what she wants for herself. She longs for freedom and knowledge, but her family and community in Kenmore value following the rules and doing what's practical. The book follows Priscilla as she tries to figure out who she is and what she wants out of life, even when it feels like everything around her is holding her back.
