Bound By Faith

The Rabbi’s Romance

In the quiet college town of Binghamton, New York, two souls on unexpected journeys collide in a love story fraught with moral dilemmas, shattered faith, and the search for redemption.

Rabbi Nachman Shapiro, a widower haunted by the tragic loss of his wife and infant daughter, escapes to Binghamton to find solace in his faith and work. But as he buries himself in his new life, the last thing he expects is Leah Sandler—a brilliant yet broken history professor with a past as painful as his own. Once part of an insular religious world, Leah has fought her way to a prestigious academic career, yet she’s haunted by memories of a dark, abusive marriage she can never fully escape.

As their friendship deepens into something far more dangerous, both Nachman and Leah grapple with questions of trust, tradition, and forgiveness. When Nachman uncovers a high-profile case of academic plagiarism that threatens to rock Leah’s university, he’s caught between his integrity and the very faith that has kept him anchored. Exposing the truth could ruin lives—but staying silent tests the limits of his love and the foundation of his beliefs.

In a tale rich with secrets and impossible choices, Bound By Faith reveals what happens when love challenges faith, and when holding on to the truth means risking everything.

Will their love be strong enough to survive the storm, or will the decisions they face tear them apart?

Bound By Faith is a captivating novel for fans of forbidden love, riveting ethical conflict, and the courage to rebuild from broken places.
