Evidence from documents: The Girl Who Could Silence the Wind: '''''The Girl Who Could Silence the Wind''''' is a 2013 young adult novel by Cuban-American author Meg Medina. The book was first published on 13 March 2012 through Candlewick Press and follows Sonia Ocampo, a teenage girl that leaves home to seek her freedom but finds that she cannot leave her past behind her.
Sonia Ocampo has always grown up with people expecting great things from her. She was born in the small town of Tres Montes, Chile during a terrible storm that threatened to completely destroy everything, only for it to stop soon after she was born. This has caused the townspeople to believe that Sonia is capable of fulfilling any wish if she prays hard enough and as a result she spends her days deep in prayer, as she herself believes in the power of her prayers. One day one of her prayers goes unanswered, showing that neither Sonia or her prayers are magical.
