From USA Today bestselling author Sally Kilpatrick comes a wickedly divine tale of one woman’s quest to make sense of life, love, and faith.

Posey Love doesn’t ask for much: a loving husband, charming children . . . oh, and for people in town to stop blessing her heart. She married Chad for that very reason, but now he’s left her homeless, penniless, and childless. So, what’s an ex-preacher’s wife to do?

Give up church for Lent and explore the Seven Deadly Sins, that’s what.

Her new course of action has plenty of positives, from reconnecting with her bestie to hooking up with her long-time crush, but will breaking the rules be the key to healing her heart, or will Posey instead lose everything she’s ever wanted?

“I rank Bless Her Heart right up there with The Happy Hour Choir. It is a little bit Flannery O’Connor, a little bit Fannie Flagg, but most delightfully and originally Sally Kilpatrick.”

What People Are Saying

 

“With both humor and insight, Bless Her Heart hits all the right notes in the complicated song of becoming who we are meant to be. This novel asks us to look at the ‘rules’ we might just have to break to heal our own life. Do yourself a favor and grab this book and hide away with it’s laugh-out-loud and cry-out-loud moments all mixed up in one place. Kilpatrick enthralls us again with her trademark quirky humor and vivid characters.”

The Romance Dish, 5 Stars

“Anybody from the South knows that ‘Bless her heart’ is one of those phrases that sounds sweet but actually is code for the worst kind of holier-than-thou, southern-fried judgement. In much the same way, Sally Kilpatrick’s touching new novel Bless Her Heart is a light smooth read on the surface but has plenty of bite underneath.”

— Kim Wright, author of Last Ride of Graceland

 

Bless Your Heart is another winner from Sally Kilpatrick. If you haven't picked up a story from her yet, this is a great entry point.”
