Hearts of Middlefield

review 1: This is the third in Kathleen Fuller's "A Hearts Of Middlefield" series and I enjoyed it as much as the first, second books. I did feel like the story of Ruth and Zach was rushed a bit in the end. I also felt that the story between Deborah and Naomi could have been touched on some more in the end.Ruth Bylers so excited to start school. It's her first year teaching and she has the lessons prepared for weeks. She has just finished getting everything ready for the first day of school. Then a truck crashes through the back wall of the school house. The driver is Zachariah Bender who has borrowed the truck from a friend. While Zach is fixing up the schoolhouse on his own he and Ruth start to have feelings for one another. But, Zach has a secret and tries to push Ruth away... more. There is another story in the book between Ruth's brother Stephen and Deborah. Deborah ahas come back to Middlefield , Ohio after her mother has passed away. She had went to live with her aunt when she became pregnant with an Englischer's child. Stephen is helping her father with the farm. Deborah starts having feelings for him but thinks that no man will ever love her because she has a son. And, don't forget her sister Naomi who just makes you want to reach through the book and slap her....lol ;)I enjoyed this book and found it hard to lay down. Great work Kathleen. I loved this series and am looking forward to reading your other books.
review 2: Title: A HAND TO HOLDAuthor: Kathleen FullerPublisher: Bethany HouseSeptember 2010ISBN: 978-1-59554-814-6Genre: Inspirational/AmishRuth Byler is anxious to start school. She’s had the lessons prepared for months in advance. She’s bought new notebooks and freshly sharpened pencils for all her students. And she’s just putting the finishing touches on her desk when a pickup truck crashes through the back wall of the school house.Zachariah Bender was borrowing a friend’s pickup to go to the store for some supplies. He’s Amish and doesn’t have a license, but it wouldn’t take long to run to the store. But he lost control when a herd of deer ran in front of the truck. Now he owes a lot of money to fix the school and his friend’s truck. As Ruth and Zach get to know each other, they find out that the long-held opinions they had of each other were wrong. But Zach has a secret he’s never told anyone. Will Ruth think less of him if she learns the truth?A HAND TO HOLD has two different love stories in it. In addition to Ruth and Zach, there is also a story about Ruth’s brother, Stephen, and Deborah. I related more to Deborah and Stephen’s story but both were excellent. This book is a little slow starting, and the ending feels kind of rushed, but otherwise, it is a great read. I’m giving it 4.5 stars, but marking it as 5 since a half star isn’t possible on certain sites. I highly recommend this book as well as any of the other books in this series. Kathleen Fuller is an Amish author whose work I’m going to want to keep reading. Discussion questions are included at the end of the book. $14.99. 278 pages. less
