About this ebook

Moriah's heart will only be safe with a man of his word.

In just a few short months, Moriah MillerÆs perfect life unravels. Newly wed and newly pregnant, Moriah is abandoned by her husband, Levi. HeÆs left her, his family, and their faith without a backward glance. The community, stunned, rushes to the young womanÆs aid.

But there is someone who feels more than just sympathy for Moriah. Gabriel MillerùLevi's twinùlongs 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 marriageùonce idealized as the happiest time of her lifeùmay have been merely a shadow of the kind of love God has created for her. A love that can mend the soul, renew her heart, and give her a future filled with hope . . . if she'll only let it.

Ratings and reviews

This was a wonderful love story. This was the story set in a simple Amish town. Moriah Byler had grown up with twins Gabriel and Levi Miller. Competetive all of their life, it is Levi that has won Moriah's heart. Unfortunately one month after their wedding, Moriah is pregnant with their first child and Levi is working outside of their small Amish Town. He has found another woman and decides to leave his wife and his Amish ways. In steps Gabriel to try to fix the situation. He tries to bring his brother back for Moriah's sake, because he himself has loved her since they were children. This is also a story of redemption and forgiveness. Like the prodigal son, Levi has decided to return to his wife and his church when he is involved in an accident. He dies leaving Moriah a widow. There is also a second love story developing along the way. Rachel and Tobias have also grown up together. There story parallels that of Gabriel, Levi and Moriah. Rachel is seeing Christian and yet Tobias, (Moriah's brother) discovers he loves Rachel. Moriah must decide to remain alone the rest of her life or trust God and allow another man to enter her life. What will it take to make Tobias step up to the plate and make Rachel see the men in their lives for what they really are and want from her? I don't usually read romance but this was absolutely AWESOME. I will need to find more by this author. I could actually sit and read it all day. I finished this book in a little over two hours because it was so good. This would be a great book for a reading club. it includes great discussion questions in the study guide at the end.

I loved this book. It showed that the Amish have crossroads to figure out just like Non- Amish people do. I also liked the twin relationship that was presented in the story. Even though they were twins, Levi and Gabe had their own personalities and temperaments that made them individuals. I could go on but I don't want to give away the story line. This is my second time reading it.

I absolutely loved this book and all the characters. I am looking forward to more books like it! Great job Kathleen! You are a wonderful writer, who does her homework!
