Review: Faithful to Laura - Kathleen Fuller

On the lookout for a new Amish author ? Love reading Christian fiction ? Review: Faithful to Laura - Book #2 Middlefield Family Series - Kathleen Fuller -August 2012 One of the things that I love about reading Christian fiction and primarily the Amish novels is that when tragedies occur , people come from the outside or as it's called in these novels the Englischer world. They always tend to welcome them with arms open wide. No matter what their past or circumstances are. As long as they adhere to their customs, anyone is welcome. It's a loving and happy society, where everyone pulls their weight, where everyone looks out for each other. A true community. Faithful to Laura is no different , the novel starts with a nightmare that Laura is having . A nightmare which sets the pretense for the novel. We learn that Laura was engaged to Mark and that he was evil and set fire to the barn, injuring her and a friend Adam. Laura had loved him with all her heart and had...

He had his skin pigmented darker to make him look like a Black man . The results were phenomenal and the book caused a lot of uproar as readers could not believe the reactions that this man recieved.   The Pregnancy Project was similar , Hispanic Gaby Rodriguez was a straight A student , one who did excellent in school . She was in the top 5 percentage of her graduation class. None of this mattered though , when she decided to undertake a project in order to learn the meaning of family, friends, and living beyond stereotypes. Gaby Rodriguez decided that she would fake a pregnancy and record the reaction...
