Amy Inspired By Bethany Pierce

Amy Inspired
By Bethany Pierce
Published by Bethany House

When Amy Gallagher accepted an Adjunct teaching position in Copenhagen, Ohio she thought it would provide her with the flexibility she needed to launch her writing career. Two years and a mountain of rejection letters later, Amy---, an obsessive-compulsive list maker, has little to show for her floundering passion for words.

Enter the enigmatic and intriguing artist, Eli. A friend of Amy’s housemate Zoe, Eli has moved into their tiny apartment before she realizes what’s happened. Attempting to maintain her distance from this rough, tattooed, drifter, Amy can’t help but be drawn to him. Deceptively handsome and beguiling, he challenges Amy and the world she has created for herself.

After an infelicitous encounter, Eli moves out of the apartment leaving Amy puzzled and alone. Forced to probe the walls and boundaries she has spent a lifetime constructing; what Amy discovers, is that life goes on, with or without her rigidity, and that just might be OK.

Witty and compelling, Amy Inspired is a coming of age novel for adults who have not yet found their niche in life. Pierce’s seemingly effortless yet very real character development is captivating and irresistible.

I received this book free from Bethany House Publishers as part of their book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review and the opinions I have expressed are my own.
