About the Book

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 is never easy to leave a life of always having whatever one needs to start a new life with nothing but hope. The authors have written a story about a young woman who has decided give up all she is used to, in order to help others.  I love every book I have ever read by Janette Oke. I love every movie that has been made out of one of her stories. The characters are unforgettable and I would love to meet them. I give this book a 5/5. Whenever I read one of her books I am waiting to be able to read the next one out. I was given this book by Litfuse Publicity Group and all opinions are my own.
