Amish Home (Kathleen Fuller) Books in Order

Kathleen Fuller's contribution to An Amish Home is Building Faith, and the title works on two levels at once. The story is about actual carpentry, but it is also about rebuilding trust after a relationship has already cracked.

Faith Miller loves woodworking, which already sets her a little apart. When she agrees to build cabinets for a new home, she ends up working with her former fiance, Silas. That simple setup gives Fuller plenty to work with. The project is practical, public, and impossible to finish unless they learn how to function side by side.

Home is literal here, not symbolic wallpaper.

That is what makes the novella satisfying. The building project is not an excuse for romance. It is the way the romance gets tested. Every step of the work asks whether Faith and Silas can handle memory, regret, and the old hurt that still sits between them.

The wider collection uses home as a theme across several authors, but Fuller's story stands out because it ties a heroine's skill and identity so directly to the emotional arc. Faith is not waiting around to be chosen. She is making something, and the relationship has to meet her in that space.

This page is a nice stop for readers who enjoy fuller heroines with practical gifts and stories where reconciliation has to be earned through patience, honesty, and shared work.
