**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.

Six years ago, Olivia's husband divorced her, leaving her with nothing, not even custody of their daughter, Emma. But Daniel is now dead, forcing Emma to leave her friends, her school, and her home in Florida to live with her mother in Bethlehem Springs, Idaho. Predictably, there is a lot of conflict between Olivia and fifteen-year-old Emma. After all, they are virtually strangers. \\n\\nTyler Murphy grew up in foster care, and now works for a law firm, investigating families to make sure the children are being protected. Conveniently, his newest case is in his home town, hired by Peter Ward to investigate Olivia, the daughter-in-law he's never met. \\nThere is the obvious building relationship between Olivia and Tyler, and Tyler's inevitable big reveal that goes exactly as well as I'd expected. I have to admit that I'm not a fan of plots where there is a big secret that you know is going to go down like a lead balloon when it's revealed. Yes, I know we want to see some tension in the novel, but I still want to be surprised. \\n\\nOverall, Like the Wind was a strong contemporary romance with excellent writing and lots of strong characters. It's also nice to see an older couple in Christian romance (Tyler is forty and never married; Olivia is a little younger). \\n\\nThanks to Thomas Nelson and NetGalley for providing a free ebook for review.

a genuine story
This is a dual timeline novel in an interesting way. It switches from a contemporary story of a mother daughter relationship plus a sweet romance to the reading of a diary from the 1930s depression era. The prayers from this slice of life portion are so genuine and real. They speak to the contemporary characters as well as you and me!
