River of Wind is the final book in the Lyle Kent series. The first is Something in the Sky. The second is Land Over Time. The book starts in the fall of 2008 and ends in the third book in the fall of 2011.

In River of Wind, we follow Lyle through his Junior and Senior years at Sherwood High. We see how he handles the many disasters at the home farm and house. We see that his Mother is changing as well, and so is Lyle. Finally, there is a day of reckoning at a place called "Crack In the Wall", a fabled place that has unreal properties which take the reader back in time. Lyle was not wanting to go back there but does so at the urging of his girlfriend, Janice. Only the river of wind can get these hikers back to their regular life if you call it regular.
