The setting of the book takes place in a vividly drawn historical backdrop, and the novel follows characters whose lives are shaped by family, community, and the weight of choices made in moments both ordinary and extraordinary. As the daily breeze arrives each morning at ten o’clock, it becomes a silent witness to secrets kept, bonds tested, and courage discovered. Olson pays attention to all the trivial details and chooses to go for lyrical storytelling that moves the reader along with the plot.

At its heart, The Ten O’Clock Breeze is a story of resilience, love, and the enduring human spirit; one that invites readers to step into another era, feel its pulse, and reflect on how the past continues to shape who we are today.
