Sound of Windmills, a literary novel, presents the coming of age story of a young girl growing up in north Texas. A story of survival in the thirties and forties where the sound of windmills was the sound of life, this book tells of a young girl's struggle to control her life. Lacking the proper role models, she often errs when she relies on what she's been told, rather than trust her own instincts.

Growing up in a world where nothing seems permanent, she has difficulty coming to terms with her father's death and her own life, within the metaphor of the wind and her love for the land. As she searches for her axial lines, she is always drawn back to the land. She grapples with her traditional world and eventually learns to say, in her own way, what King Lear once declared: "I will do such things, what they are yet I know not, but they shall be the terrors of the earth."
