Like many
aspiring
writers,
Amy
Gallagher
is losing
her
confidence
after
countless rejections in
Amy Inspired (Bethany
House), written by
Bethany Pierce. After
wondering how in the
world she’ll pay the bills,
Amy accepts a job as an
English professor in a
small Ohio town. Adding
additional fuel to her
angst is a diminished
relationship with her
current boyfriend.
Just when hope is feeling
especially grim, she meets
an attractive, charming,
unavailable man who
really shakes things up in
her life—for good and for
bad, something she’s
forced to reconcile as she
investigates the state of
her faith and dreams.
“Ultimately, Amy Inspired
is about
overcoming
the fear of
rejection
and about
redefining
the nature of success from
a biblical standpoint,” says
Pierce. “As Amy nears 30,
realizing she may never
be the best-selling novelist
she’d hoped to become—or the wife, or the mother,
or the brilliant academic—she finally begins to look
for counter-cultural
ways to evaluate and
define success.”
