A Heart Made New
In the second novel of Kelly Irvin’s Bliss Creek Amish series, readers will be delighted to return to a town and a family they’ve already come to love.
Annie Shirack is trying to fight her feelings for David Plank, a young Amish man who’s struggling with an aggressive case of Hodgkin’s lymphoma. David loves Annie too much to let her into his life, only, he fears, to leave her.
When a homeless young woman named Charisma and her two-year-old daughter, Gracie, show up in Bliss Creek, Annie welcomes them into the Shirack household and tries to help them establish a new life. But all the good deeds in the world can’t change the ache in Annie’s heart…or help her forget the man she loves.
“This book has emotional romance with suspense that keeps
readers riveted. It has more story layers than an Amish quilt
pattern has pieces. I endorse this book wholeheartedly for Amish
genre fans.”
—Alan Daugherty, columnist, Angelkeep Journals
"One of the best books I've read this year! This well written
book drew me in from the very beginning and the characters tugged
on my heartstrings from the first chapter. Kelly Irvin's voice and
style are pleasant to read. She keeps her reader's interest and
gives a happy ever after ending that's sure to bring a smile. The
book definitely falls in the ‘could not put it down’
category.”

“This Amish story has twists and turns to keep you turning the
pages. It's a good read with strong, memorable characters.”
—Jo Huddleston, johuddleston.com
“A Heart Made New was just as great as the
first book, To Love and to Cherish. Ms. Irvin
started the book with a major incident and the twists and turns
continued right through—in fact, so much so that I was completely
disappointed when the book was over. There were so many incidents
that took me by surprise—from budding romances to suspenseful
events. It is definitely an Amish love story with intrigue.”

“You don't have to be a fan of Amish fiction to enjoy Kelly
Irvin's A Heart Made New. She has written a
remarkable novel touching on issues faced by people of all faiths
and cultures. I'm looking forward to many more of Kelly’s
stories!
—Susan Simpson, author of Ginger and the Bully
“What a special way Kelly Irvin has with weaving reality into
her books. The details in the book give great depth and meaning
that is sorely lacking in some Inspirational fiction. A Heart Made New made me cry, laugh, smile, and think. I
am not usually a fan of Amish fiction, but Kelly Irvin has won me
over!
—Susan Karsten
“This heart-touching story will make readers think about their
own lives and choices. The characters seem so authentic you can’t
help but care for them.”
—Mary Hake
