Description



About the Book



A discovered diary. A mother and daughter in desperate need of connection. And a story of hope and inspiration that spans both decades and miles.



Book Synopsis



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.

"Seamlessly weaving past and present, Robin has written a touching, hopeful story that's sure to tug on readers' heartstrings." --Kathleen Fuller, bestselling author

Like the Wind by Robin Lee Hatcher has Olivia Ward moving to Bethlehem Springs after an acrimonious divorce. Her rich and powerful ex-husband took everything from Olivia including their daughter, Emma. Six years later, Olivia’s life is once again turned upside down when she learns that her ex-husband has died in a car accident and her fifteen-year-old daughter is coming to live with her. The last thing Emma wants is to leave her boarding school (aka her friends) and live with her mother in a small boring town. Tyler Murphy is a private investigator hired by Peter Ward, Emma’s grandfather, to see if Olivia is a good mother and fit to raise Emma. Tyler soon finds himself falling for Olivia, but his deception could end the relationship before it begins. Like the Wind is an inspiring story. We get to see Olivia and Tyler overcome adversity. I thought the characters were realistic and relatable. The author really captured the attitude and behavior of a teenager. There are diary entries from a journal Emma finds mixed in with some props at the local community theater (from 1930s). I enjoyed the historical diary entries with their faith messages. I like how the diary tied to the present. There are inspirational messages sprinkled throughout the story that are enlightening. We are reminded that His love is everlasting. We get to see Olivia and Tyler overcome their pasts with love, understanding, and faith. The ending is lovely. Like the Wind is an uplifting tale with a discordant divorce, adolescent angst, an old diary, a captivating PI, an interfering grandfather, and a remarkable romance.

Robin Lee Hatcher pens a story of love, heartache, joy and forgiveness. One that's sure to pull your heartstrings and maybe cause you to ponder a few things within your own life as well. Olivia Ward has lost the two things in life she held dearest...her marriage and her daughter. When circumstances bring her now 15-year-old daughter back into her life they'll have years of deception to unravel. I really loved each aspect of this book. The characters, their chemistry, and the diary that may hold the key to bringing mother and daughter together again. I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are my own.
