When Cory's father suddenly dies, his entire perfect world is torn apart. 
Gone is the loving mother, doting sister, lovely house, and the huge allowance. Instead, Cory needs to deal with the bank auctioning off the home he gave his first steps in, an illness that befalls his little sister, and the depression that's eating his mother alive. 
Just as it can't get any worse, Patrick with the golden-brown eyes, the infectious laugh, and the rich life eventually showed interest in Cory. The thing that Cory believed would have made his once almost-perfect world completely perfect now becomes his biggest fear as he tries to keep his new life a secret.
With juggling his depression, suicidal thoughts, and self-harm; Cory just doesn't know if the boy with the infectious laugh has a place in his life anymore.

"Out in the Wind"is not just the story of a teen who is forced to grow up sooner than any kid should. It is also a real story that happens to lots of people around the world on a daily. This is a story full of tears, sadness, hope, loss, faith, and love.

Out in the wind

　　The first day of school is always the worst day of the year by far in my honest opinion. You never know what to expect, and as usual I have nothing to wear just like every other kid in the world. The only difference is that I could not have my one little tradition that my parents always paid for this year. This year I would not be able to walk into school with a brand new outfit. The clothing in my closet, or should I say in the small box stashed behind the couch in the living room of Aunt Barbara, would have to do this year.
