The first installment of Ms. Carpentier’s “Who’s to Say” trilogy traces the lives of Irish and American youths who fashion together an unexpected and surprising bond as their families battle tragedies, hardships, and an assortment of life-changing events.
After immediate success as an eBook, Who’s to Say Where the Wind Will Blow is distributed in print through Ingram, the world’s largest book distributor and is now available at book retailers nationwide in addition to all popular eBook formats at leading online book retailers..
Montrose Manor in the Southwest of Ireland offers an abundance of resources, but wealth and privilege fail to provide solace for young Laura Meegan when an accident claims the life of her mother. Stricken with grief, her father distances himself from Laura and falls headlong into the intense—even dangerous—world of thoroughbred horse racing.
After her mother’s death, Laura finds her own new world to explore and soon befriends Liam Delaney, the caretaker’s son. Ireland springs to life in this remarkable tale of self-indulgence, young love, and a life of vulnerability that will transport you back to this enchanted isle of the late 20th century.
Who’s to Say Where the Wind Will Blow is a finely crafted story that delivers a glimpse of an Ireland that has dealt with decades of social injustices, class warfare, and the widespread challenges facing the uneducated.
“Carol Carpentier has presented the world a novel that is tightly constructed and intelligent, yet rings with a delightful prose that appears almost effortless,” said Kathie McGuire, director of Brighton Publishing LLC. “You can add Carpentier’s voice next to those of Irish saga legends like Joyce, O’Connor, and Leon Uris.”
Carol Carpentier’s grandfather contributed greatly to her love for the equine spirit, having served as a coachman for Lady Buxton in England during the late 1800s. Ms. Carpentier has spent her life interacting with a diverse complement of trainers, riders, and breeders from all over the world. Born in Mare Island, California, she is a wife and a mother of three grown children.
