Book Info
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:

Janette Oke and Laurel Oke Logan have teamed up with their historical fiction novel, "Where Courage Calls."  Beth is following in her aunt Elizabeth's footsteps and heading out to western Canada to become a teacher. This experience is not quite what Beth had in mind, but she determined to do what she set out to do. Beth is such an inspiring main character in this book and she was fun to read about. However, I also really loved the other characters as well, including Molly.  Molly is such a good friend to Beth and is there for her. The two men whom are vying for Beth's heart are enjoyable to read about as well and I found myself liking them both and having a hard time trying to help Beth choose.  This is a sweet story and an enjoyable story to read set in a rugged frontier that is filled with hardships, but also filled with wonderful people and memorable moments.
