The Calling

 
The Calling, The: A Novel (The Inn at Eagle Hill) Paperback
 
Twenty-year-old Bethany Schrock is restless. Her love life has derailed, her faith hangs by a thread, and she is spending the incredibly hot summer days wading through a lifetime's accumulation of junk at the home of five ancient Amish sisters. About the only thing that holds her interest is the spirited and dangerously handsome Jimmy Fisher--and he seems bent on irritating her to no end.

When the sly old sisters and a guest at the Inn get Bethany involved in running the local soup kitchen and starting a community garden, she suddenly finds herself wondering, Shootfire! How did that happen? Despite her newfound purposefulness, a gnawing emptiness about a childhood mystery continues to plague her. Encouraged by Jimmy Fisher, she will seek out the answers she craves--and uncover a shocking secret that will break her heart, heal it, and point her to love.

Bestselling author Suzanne Woods Fisher delivers her trademark twists, turns, and tender romance in this delightful and exciting visit to the deceptively quiet community of Stoney Ridge.

My Review:
The Calling was an interesting book. At first I had a difficult time getting into the book because of so many different characters but latter I couldn't put the book down. The Calling is about a youth pastor that got fired by her church so she decide to stay at a Bed and Breakfast run by an Amish family. During her stay she waiting on God to show her where she should minister next. Mean while the Amish family lives are full of intrigue and mystery. While the book has a Amish theme and does not seem to be so evident as other Amish stories. If you like a good mystery this book is for you.
