Where Courage Calls: A When Calls the Heart Novel Paperback
by Janette Oke (Author) , Laurel Oke Logan (Author)
Her courage and her heart will be tested in ways she never expected. . .Beth Thatcher has spent her entire life in the safe, comfortable world of her family, her friends, and the social outings her father's wealth provides. But Beth is about to leave it all behind to accept a teaching position in the rugged foothills of western Canada. Inspired by her aunt Elizabeth, who went west to teach school several years ago, and gently encouraged by her father, Beth resolves to put her trust in God and bravely face any challenge that comes her way.
But the conditions in Coal Valley are even worse than she'd feared. A recent mining accident has left the town grieving and at the mercy of the mining company. The children have had very little prior education, and many of the locals don't even speak English. There isn't even a proper schoolhouse. In addition, Beth's heart is torn between two young men--both Mounties, one a lifelong friend and the other a kind, quiet man who comes to her aid more than once.
Despite the many challenges, Beth is determined to make a difference in the rustic frontier town. But when her sister visits from the East, reminding her of all the luxuries she's had to give up, will Beth decide to return to her privileged life as soon as the school year is over?

My Review:
It had been some time since I had read one of Janette Oke's books. I wasn't disappointed, She still can write the story in a way that draws you into the story line. The characters are interesting and evolve as the story unfolds. The authors daughter joins her in writing this book but the book flows easily without any interruptions. It will be great to see what these two authors put out next,
This is a interesting Christian based book with some romance, adventure and how one must grow in God's grace trusting that he alone knows what is best for us. I recommend this book!
