Love Still Stands


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.

A Word from the Author


Love Still Stands is the story of two very different women facing personal adversity and finding God in its midst. Bethel and Leah pray, but they don’t get the answers they so hoped they would. As I wrote their story, I found an opportunity to explore my own prayer life and my expectations. Do I pray for God’s will or for my own to be done? Can I accept God’s answers and lean on the knowledge that He knows what’s best for me? I hope readers will enjoy Bethel and Leah’s stories and find answers of their own along the way."
Kelly Irvin, author of Love Still Stands
