Overview

Wings of the wind captures the emotional turbulence of postwar return as it explores the quiet unraveling of identity and purpose in the wake of conflict. The narrative follows the psychological dislocation of a soldier faced with the hollowness of peacetime routines, seeking restoration in uncharted experience. Refusing the comfort of familiarity, the protagonist drifts toward a world defined not by duty but by uncertainty, where past convictions no longer offer stability. In the fluid space between memory and movement, the story examines how personal renewal arises through vulnerability and unexpected companionship. Underneath a surface of adventure and romance, it grapples with deeper currents of grief, alienation, and the human need for transformation. The sea becomes a metaphor for emotional release, and each new encounter tests the fragile bridge between what was endured and what remains possible. Through introspection and escape, the novel suggests that recovery requires surrender to the unknown, where meaning can be rediscovered in fragments of beauty and connection.

Author Information

Credo Fitch Harris was an American journalist, novelist, and radio station manager whose work reflected both the literary and technological transitions of the early 20th century. Born in 1874 and based in Kentucky, Harris contributed to regional literature while also playing a role in the emerging field of broadcast media. He managed WHAS, a prominent Louisville radio station, during a period of rapid development in American radio. His writing frequently explored Kentucky life, particularly in novels such as Toby, which was later adapted into the silent film One Dollar Bid. Harris's literary range extended beyond fiction, as seen in his travel book Motor Rambles in Italy and his autobiographical Microphone Memoirs, which detailed the early days of radio. His novels often dealt with identity, place, and the intersections between rural experience and broader social changes. Though not widely known today, Harris's combined legacy in literature and media marks him as a contributor to both Southern storytelling and the foundational years of American broadcasting. He died in 1956.
