Publisher: Ambassador International  
Genre: Historical Fiction

Abigail Walker, a young woman from rural South Carolina, is on the cusp of womanhood, aching to be able to run wild as the younger children do, yet yearning for things she has yet to understand.

Awkward and unsure of herself, Abby is flustered when she meets Harvey Nicholas, a cadet from Clemson College. As summer begins, Abby finds herself constantly in the company of Harvey and falling quickly in love with him.

As rumors of war begin to reach the States, Abby begins to fear what may come for her older brother and Harvey.

Once Pearl Harbor is bombed, the boys are eager to protect their home and the women they love. But will Abby and Harvey's love be able to withstand distance, rumors, loss, and hurt? Or will the war be what tears apart Abby's heart?  

War-Torn Heart is a kleenex-box book with a story of hope, of love, and of perseverance through World War II, which will make the reader cry, scream, and long for more.

Interview with Author Allison Wells

Can you tell us a little about yourself?

I’m a wife and a mother of four children. I have one daughter and three sons - and yes, life is crazy to say the least. I love it. I’ve been a Christian since I was sixteen. I am a graduate of Clemson University and I still live close enough to hear football games on Saturdays. I love to be crafty, and have recently become obsessed with hand lettering. It’s so relaxing. My favorite color is turquoise and I have been tattooed ten times.

What do you do besides writing?
When I’m not writing, I am usually trying to nap because my life is hectic! I spend my days taking children to sports, church, scouts, doctors, etc. So when I have a spare moment, I want to sleep. But otherwise I love to read, and as I said before, hand lettering is my newest addiction.


Do you have images you can share that come close to how you picture your characters? Do you like to find visual inspiration for your characters before or during your writing process?

I have searched a lot of stock images for what I think my characters look like. I pinned several of them to a Pinterest board! https://www.pinterest.com/orangealli/book-war-torn-heart/

What are some songs that you listened to or inspired you while writing your book?
I listened to a lot of worship songs while writing this, as well as some 1940s big band music. Nothing specific, just something upbeat to keep the creativity flowing.


What message would you like readers to ultimately take away from the book?

I would love it if my readers finished the book and knew that God has a plan, even if we can’t see it right now. War happens, death happens, heartbreak happens, but none of it is a surprise to the Father who loves and cares for us.


What can we look forward to coming from you in the future?

The sequel to War-Torn Heart will be released late this year I hope. It’s called When Waves Break and follows the story of Abby and Harvey’s twin daughters Eve and Juliette.
