Even if Nothing Else Is Certain
Dreaming of the future…
Ruby Foster loves her job as a Pack Horse librarian, but secretly she dreams of being a nurse. Since there are no schools for nursing in the hills of rural Kentucky in 1937, Ruby contents herself with harvesting medicinal plants, delivering her beloved library books, and dreaming. Dreaming mostly of a life that doesn’t leave her living in the past. Until one day she discovers that “past” camped out by the Hell for Certain creek. Could it really be Cole, the one who left her heartbroken so many years ago? Just when she starts to believe in her dreams and hope for love again, Cole reveals his true colors. Or is the truth she sees only another illusion?
Outrunning the past….
Cole Cooper didn’t mean to disappear into the night back when he and Ruby were kids, but when your father’s a con artist disappearing happens. Now, haunted by his mistakes and desperate for forgiveness and love, Cole’s back in Certain to right the town’s most egregious wrong. He dreams of being welcomed back home, but he flubs his plan for redemption from the start. Now he’s covered in lies and regrets again and things just keep going from bad to worse. Everything that was within his grasp, including Ruby’s love, is slipping away fast. He wants to be a good man, but tricks and lies are all he’s ever been taught. Will he have the courage it takes to tell the truth and face the consequences?
When nothing else seems certain…
When nothing else in the world seems certain, can the bonds of friendship bring one searching heart and one lost soul together again. Can they find true love? Maybe, if they can see beyond the lies and discover the real truth. If they can see all the way back to the best truth of all…loveI

It’s a comfort and joy to return to Certain, Kentucky in this second novel of the series. Even if Nothing Else is Certain is a heartfelt story about healing, forgiveness, and the true meaning of home. This novel is perfect for anyone who’s ever tried to make amends for a past mistake; put simply, it’s for all of us. Through the characters of Ruby and Cole, Amy Willoughby-Burle has generously crafted a reminder of what remains in times of hardship: faith, hope, and love. Rich with historical details, a strong sense of place, a swoon worthy romance, and memorable characters, this novel offers a much-needed message of redemption.

Ok Certain Fans: If you’ve been looking online to order a copy and have discovered that you can’t… don’t panic! Here’s the story:
My lovely publisher, Fireship Press, has had to close its doors due the very unexpected passing of its owner and chief executive. The remaining team worked to keep the press afloat, but alas had to fold.
Does that mean Certain, KY and all the folks who reside there have vanished? Not at all! In fact their story continues (yes, I’m working on book 3). I’m seeking new publishing arrangements and the books will be available again soon.
For now, you can buy limited edition copies (with the original covers from Fireship) directly from me. AND you can get them signed!
The cost is just $15.00 which includes shipping within the US. Just Venmo me and email me instructions. (If you’re outside the US start with the email and we’ll figure out cost from there.)
- Thank you for being a fan!
