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

　　“I love you, but I can’t stay longer. It may be a while before I speak to you again. I’m so happy you were my first, Theo, and you were worth all the heartache. I hope I wasn’t living in some alternate universe where I wasn’t actually your first love, too. But this universe is the only one that matters, and I have one last question for you: I didn’t get our history wrong, did I?” I read, glancing up at Dumbledore, sitting there with his eyes closed, nodding his head up and down.


　　“So that’s it?” he asks as I close the book and push it into my backpack, trying my best to still control the tears burning behind my eyes because of the book’s ending.


　　“Yeah,” I answer. “It kinda got to me, but I think I will read it again.”


　　“Books are like mistakes. You shouldn’t revisit them,” Dumbledore says as he pulls the blanket that’s over his knees up to his chin to try and ward off the cold in the air.
