Tyler Corbin is back home after two years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. To protect his sister, he needs to keep the truth of the matter quiet, even if it means sacrificing his own reputation. Love was not anything he expected to find as he rebuilt his life—but then he met Megan.

Will telling the truth ruin Tyler’s chance at love, or will it be what sets him free?

What the Wind Picked Up:
Proof that a Single Idea Can Launch
a Thousand Stories

by Chi Libris

Yvonne Lehman is a contributor to this new book. The members of ChiLibris, all multi-published Christian novelists, remember when they had the same fear. Something they've all discovered is that it isn't the idea that is so unique--since the same basic stories are told again and again, and we never tire of hearing them. What's unique is the expression of those ideas.

Yvonne's 40th Novel
