Synopsis
Moriah's heart will only be safe with a man of his word.
In just a few short months, Moriah Miller's perfect life unravels. Newly wed and newly pregnant, Moriah is abandoned by her husband, Levi. He's left her, his family, and their faith without a backward glance. The community, stunned, rushes to the young woman's aid.
But there is someone who feels more than just sympathy for Moriah. Gabriel Miller—Levi's twin—longs for an intimate commitment that might someday bind them to one another. Convinced of the impossibility of his dream, Gabriel settles for a mere friendship with the woman he loves.
Moriah bravely goes on with her life, adjusting to her new role in their tight knit Amish community and preparing for the birth of her child. She is unaware that her brief marriage—once idealized as the happiest time in her life—may have been merely a shadow of the king of love God has creater for her. A love that can mend the soul, renew her heart, and give her a future filled with hope...if only she'll let it.
Library Journal

VERDICT This series launch by the coauthor of An Amish Christmas (see review below) will appeal to readers of contemporary Amish love stories. The characters are well drawn, and the plot involves a sweet but winning romance.

January 12, 2010: Kathleen Fuller has a new book, "A Man Of His Word" published by Thomas Nelson and it is a gentle love story set against the backdrop of the Amish society of Middlefield, Ohio.
In simple terms it is the story of a Moriah who marries Levi and thinks that her life is complete when she finds that she is going to bring their first baby to the marriage. Her husband, Levi, is unhappy with being chained down so he not only leaves her he leaves the whole Amish order. His twin brother, Gabriel, is outraged and goes to have a showdown with him only to find that Levi is having an extramarital affair and won't be coming back. Gabriel is heartbroken, not only for the loss of his brother but because he is secretly in love with Moriah and has been since 6th grade.Simultaneously, there is the additional love story of Moriah's brother Tobias and Rachel as they find they love each other and work to discover how to tell each other that.This book is all about family relationships, brothers with brothers and sisters with brothers as well as being in love and telling the person you are in love with that information and what happens when you don't. While it is a gentle book there is tragedy in the story and how the individual bears up under it and how friends and family and faith in God help to ease the pain.All the characters are likable and Ms. Fuller has a way of bringing you into the story and making the little town very real. I didn't think I would enjoy it but Ms. Fuller proved me wrong, "A Man Of His Word" is a wonderful book to pass the time with and help to increase one's faith in God.I give "A Man Of His Word" five stars and look forward to the next book by Kathleen Fuller1st in Middlefield series will please fans of Amish litby ChristysBookBlog

January 06, 2010: A Man of His Word by Kathleen Fuller is the first book in the Middlefield Series. Moriah Miller has spent much of her life waiting to marry her beau, Levi Miller. But soon after their wedding, the life she imagined for the two of them unravels. He abandons her and their unborn child, leaving her in a state of limbo within their Amish community that doesn't allow divorce. Gabriel, Levi's twin, has long been in love with Moriah but hid his feelings, but now he may be the only one to make things right. Fuller captures the day to day life of an Amish woman, along with her faith and love for family. Readers will see some plot twists coming easily, but the story is compelling and moving as Gabriel tries to do right by Levi and Moriah, as well as Moriah's ache over the loss of a dream and the fear of starting anew. Several other couples are introduced throughout the book who will certainly be featured in future volumes in the series. Gabriel and Moriah's romance is fraught with emotion and pain; I look forward to the story involving Moriah's brother and his new wife which promises to be more light-hearted.
