A Man of His Word by Kathleen Fuller
Moriah has been married to her childhood sweetheart, Levi, for four months. She is carrying his baby. Everything should be wonderful in her life – but it’s not. Levi is gone for long hours and is distant when he is home. The news about the baby should make everything right. But on the night she’s going to tell him, he leaves a note informing Moriah that he’s walking away from the Amish faith. And from her. The close-knit Ohio community rallies around her, including Levi’s twin brother Gabe, who has secretly loved Moriah for years. Even knowing there can never be a future for the two of them, he vows to take care of her and her child. Maybe God has different plans in mind.

I thought this was a wonderful read and enjoyed it very much. Most Amish fiction is set in Pennsylvania, so it was nice to see one set in another area and to note the differences between the two. The struggles the characters encounter are common to every human. The characters are real and easy to cheer for. There is the unresolved problem with the young man who had been addicted to drugs, but that makes me want to read the sequel and see what is going to happen. Super job, Kathleen. Keep it up!
