Publisher's summary

An Amazon Charts, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post bestseller.

In an unforgettable love story, a woman’s impossible journey through the ages could change everything....

Anne Gallagher grew up enchanted by her grandfather’s stories of Ireland. Heartbroken at his death, she travels to his childhood home to spread his ashes. There, overcome with memories of the man she adored and consumed by a history she never knew, she is pulled into another time.

The Ireland of 1921, teetering on the edge of war, is a dangerous place in which to awaken. But there Anne finds herself, hurt, disoriented, and under the care of Dr. Thomas Smith, guardian to a young boy who is oddly familiar. Mistaken for the boy’s long-missing mother, Anne adopts her identity, convinced the woman’s disappearance is connected to her own.

As tensions rise, Thomas joins the struggle for Ireland’s independence and Anne is drawn into the conflict beside him. Caught between history and her heart, she must decide whether she’s willing to let go of the life she knew for a love she never thought she’d find. But in the end, is the choice actually hers to make?

A Captivating Historical Romance!

This was a great historical romance that had some time travel thrown in. Historical romance definitely isn’t my go to but I have enjoyed Amy Harmon’s books before so I grabbed this one from the Amazon First selection (and WS it for audio) and I was not disappointed. The bulk of the story is from Anne’s point of view, but there are a lot of entries from Thomas’s journal. The story starts with Anne promising her dying grandfather that she will spread his ashes back in Ireland. Once Anne gets to Ireland she starts to realize that her Grandfather kept her entire family history a secret and she wants to finally learn more. When Anne goes to her grandfather’s childhood home, she takes a little boat out into the lough to release his ashes where fog surrounds her and she finds herself thrown back in time to 1921. There is so much going on in the story, between the battles in Ireland at the time and with Anne trying to not let it be known that she is an imposter, it makes for some intense and emotional moments. I was worried with how the story would end, but I absolutely loved the HEA ending!

Saskia Maarleveld and Will Damron did an amazing job bringing the story to life!

A love story that withstands the test of time!

I absolutely loved every bit of this story! I wasn’t expecting to get so involved in this book after reading the initial summery but soon couldn’t stop listening! I will definitely be listening to this story again and again.

This book goes to the top of my all time favorites

What the Wind knows is not given justice by the book cover which did little to draw me in. The story opens like that of all great books and grabs your attention right away. It isn’t until you become familiar with the characters and events that you realize you’ve stumbled upon a great treasure. Narration is superb.

Got lost in this story ❤️😊🏠💍💨🌊

Amy Harmon has a way of pulling you into her books and experiencing the story. The time travel was not overdone but a low key part of the book which was good as it was not corny. I really liked it!

Can't get this story out of my mind

I didn't want this story to end - three days after finishing it, I can't stop thinking about it. I fell in love with the characters, the story, and the end was so satisfying - I was worried that it wouldn't be!

Got wonderfully lost

I was entranced from the first few minutes of this book. I started listening to it while I was running, one day..I ran 13.1 miles listening to this! I couldn't stop! I kept listening while I did housework, as I napped or went to bed. I listened in my truck, while I shopped and just any time I could. The characters were so real...I felt every happiness, relief, and loss they felt... I'm sad and happy I finished...sad the Adventure is done, and happy ....
