Readers of Kelly Irvin's Bliss Creek Amish novels will be
overjoyed to discover her new series for lovers of Amish
fiction: The New Hope Amish. In the first installment, Love
Still Stands, a group of dedicated families leaves Bliss
Creek to establish a new community in Missouri. Among them
is Bethel Graber, a beautiful young woman with a passion for
teaching. But after being disabled in a terrible accident,
overseeing a classroom is out of the question...and romance
seems a long-lost dream.
Bethel begins physical therapy, determined to make a fresh
start. But that won't be easy in the town of New Hope,
where the locals seem anything but eager to welcome their
new Amish neighbors. Amid growing intimidation from the
community, Bethel must find the strength to face her many
challenges and the faith to believe that God still has a
plan--and a love--for her life.
