Winds of Change: A Keeper of the Clearing Novel

by Jan Wood

Peace has returned to the forest since the Keeper’s wisdom was rediscovered. Tiger, Turtle, and Owl have guided their friends with kindness and cooperation, helping harmony take root once again. But when a silver-tongued forest dweller begins to promise safety, prosperity, and order, a new current stirs beneath the calm.

As words become rules and rules become division, old friends must remember what it truly means to walk the Keeper’s Way. The forest begins to forget that peace is not the absence of change, but the courage to live within it.

In Winds of Change, Jan Wood continues the journey that began in her beloved woodland fable Keeper of the Clearing. Through rich storytelling and the wisdom of nature, the story explores how easily we trade harmony for certainty, and how compassion can guide us back again.

Both lyrical and deeply human, this tale invites readers of all ages to rediscover courage, connection, and the quiet strength of living kindly in a world that is always changing.
