Where Courage Calls

Where Courage Calls was a super fun book to read.  I loved this book but I have to say I didn’t like the ending at all. The only reason I didn’t like the ending was because I didn’t wrap everything up like I wanted it too. In this book you follow along with Beth as she goes to a remote mining town to teach school to the children. From the moment she leaves her home it is a series of crazy things that happen to her but throughout the whole journey and the whole year she is teaching there she learns to keep her head up and that things do always get better. I loved how much she had grown by the end of the book and compared to how she was in the beginning of the book.

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?
