A Plain Love Song By Kelly Irvin

Kelly Irvin, author of the Bliss Creek Amish series, brings the story of the New Hope Amish to a dramatic conclusion in A Plain Love Song.

Adah Knepp wants nothing more than to make music. It's all she's ever desired--to sing and play the guitar and write her own songs. That's a dream that will never come true in the confines of her strict Amish community. But then she meets Jackson Hart, and all of a sudden she finds the chance for a different kind of life. A real stage, a real guitar, and a real opportunity to sing her songs to a real audience!

But pursuing her dreams means turning her back on her family and community--and saying goodbye to Matthew, the gentle Amish farmer she can't get out of her mind. Is it worth giving up the only home she's ever known to pursue her dreams?

In this third and final book in the  New Hope Amish series you are going to get to visit with the Amish family that you have come to love in this series. I was so sad when the book ended.

I have come to love this fictional family so much.

This book is not one that you can read slowly and put down, once you start this book you will have to read the whole book before putting it down. It is fantastic.

I gave this book 5 stars and I recommend it!

There is an alternate ending to Adah's story on Kelly's website, after you read this book you may want to check that out.

I can't wait to see what is next from Kelly.

I was given a copy be the publisher for my honest review.
