Она совсем не похожа на людей, которых он знал раньше, но он готов оставить всё это в прошлом.

I grew up reading Laura Abbott’s novels because she truly had the ability to create compelling characters and captivating storylines. Her characterization is meticulous and nuanced, yet at the same time her characters feel entirely real and relatable.
Not too long ago, I was re-reading *My Name is Nell,* a novel that I have read multiple times over the years. It is a beautiful story that explores the idea of family, identity, and what it really means to love. The book tells the story of Brady Logan, a man whose world was changed when his wife and infant daughter were murdered in an auto accident. After mourning for his family for years, he seemingly finds his purpose by traveling to Amish country in search of Nell Porter, one of the Amish women who was caring for his two children during their last days of life. While Rachel, an Amish girl who worked with the Porter family, warned him about being “unlike” (5 ) and potentially making Nell hostile to him, Brady faced his guilt as he blindly set out to see Nell. When he finally sees her, he faces more obstacles to their possible relationship including the fact that she harbors an intense secret.
Abbott deftly concludes each incidental chapter in a way that leaves the reader in suspense, anticipation, and confrontation with the characters’ inner conflicts. Nell’s initial reluctance towards a relationship with Brady is palpable despite her desire to provide aid to the grieving stricken family. Here, Abbott captures the dilemma Nell is facing, contemplating her religious upbringing and whether it is right to deepen her involvement with a non-Amish person who has now entered her life. *My Name, *which envelopes the intersections of class, religion, and gender, is the true breadth of her expertise as a writer filled with intricate storytelling and layered characters. Ultimately, Abbott masterfully woven an emotional and emotional tale that ultimately reveals Nell's true goodness and capability for love surpassing the barriers of their religious difference. I highly recommend this novel.
Brady Logan had no idea he was searching for Nell Porter, until he arrived in Upstate New York after the death of Dalene and their son Caleb. His world had fallen apart, life had become empty and made love unfeasible. Then he met Nell and suddenly something inside him tipped over and erupted into reasoned emotion.
She was nothing like any woman he had ever known, and yet there had been a moment right at the start...
