Like the Wind by Robin Lee Hatcher

 

A life in pieces. A hundred-year-old journal. And a chance for love to be reborn.

Olivia Ward arrived in Bethlehem Springs alone—with no job, no home, and no money—after her manipulative ex-husband used his power and wealth to destroy everything. Six years later, the peaceful life she rebuilt is once again turned upside down when she learns that her fifteen-year-old daughter, Emma, will be coming to live with her. The reunion should be a dream come true, but years of deception have driven a wedge between them. And Emma seems more interested in an old diary she discovered than reconciliation with her mother.

Tyler Murphy knows what it’s like to lose everything. Propelled by his history in the foster-care system, he’s determined to root out dishonesty and protect the most vulnerable through his work as an investigator. When he’s hired to investigate Olivia Ward, though, he finds himself longing to believe she’s exactly who she appears to be, and he soon realizes that his desire to learn more about her has nothing to do with his job. But how can he pursue a relationship that began with a lie?

In this latest novel from award-winning author Robin Lee Hatcher, an antique diary, a family-fueled investigation, and unexpected feelings collide to create a promise that’s worth fighting for.

My Review

 

I loved this read, it does pull on your heart strings!

So many things in life are unfair, and this time slip read shows how unfair things can be, the primary story is about a woman who loose everything including her daughter, the time slip takes us back to the hard times during the Great Depression, but through it all they show great faith.

There is some sweet romance, but we are shown the struggles that others cause in their lives. This read did not disappoint, it became a page turner, you will want to help, but of course, you can't. In the end you will want to continue on in the lives of these characters you have come to care about!

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Thomas Nelson, and was not required to give a positive review.
