Kai is a spiritual child who dips her ears into the wind where she hears voices that tell stories from the forgotten past. Though she grows up in poverty in the Caribbean, her quick mind wins her a scholarship to the island's most prestigious all-girls' school where she's catapulted into a very different world. Her newfound friendships lead her to the joy of an unlikely first love with Hayden, the handsome green-eyed son of one of the richest families on the island. The taboo surrounding their love forces her to confront the conflicts seeking to tear her from Hayden. Through heartache and upheaval, Kai claims her storytelling voice, using the folklore of the Ancestors that is whispered in the wind to make the lost stories from the past come to life.
