Sensitively Rendered Story of Family Relationships


Heart Like Mine by Amy Hatvany

Heart Like Mine tells the story of a family’s shattering loss as seen through the eyes of 3 women.  Kelli is Victor’s ex-wife and is struggling because of the divorce and past hurts in her life.  Ava, her 13-year old daughter, is adjusting to the fact that her father is no longer at home.  Grace, Victor’s fiancée, is floundering while trying to establish a relationship with Ava and her brother.  Then Kelli dies and it changes everyone’s life.  The stress and the secrets kept threaten to destroy the family. 

Amy Hatvany writes a sensitive story dealing with depression, past hurts, and the possibility of second chances.  She pinpoints the emotions in difficult family situations.   She writes of mistakes made and forgiveness extended, of despair and of hope.  Her writing drew me into the story and challenged me to look past the surface into a person’s heart.  I thoroughly enjoyed this book.   The publisher furnished me with a free copy and this is my honest opinion.
