Review:

With all the snow on the ground today, there is nothing better than drinking a cup of hot coffee and reading a book, or in my case writing a review for The Calling.

Similar to other books by the author, this story is set again in Stoney Bridge, but this time the main focus is on Bethany Schrock, who is spending the hot summer months living at the Sister's House, while she reflects on what she wants out of life, which has been a bit rocky. Her mother abandoned her, her father recently passed away and her brother is missing. Plus, she is also trying to get over her ex, Jake Hertzler

Her boring summer that includes cleaning the Sister's House, takes an interesting turn when she meets the newest guest at the Eagle Hill Inn (which is ran by Bethany's stepmother), Geena, who happens to be a Youth Minster, well until she was fired.

With Geena's arrival, deciding what to do with Jimmy Fisher's affections, the return of her brother,
 Tobe, and of course the shocking discovery hidden in the Sister's trunk; Bethany's summer is turning into anything but boring

Reading Amish fiction is a guilty pleasure of mine, along with drinking a third cup of coffee. Its nice that the author brought back the same family for the sequel instead of focusing on a new set of characters. There are many subplots entangled in this tale, which the author has cleverly created along with quirky character, which my favorite was Bethany's younger sister, Mim. Overall, The Calling is charming read, which I enjoyed reading every page. I can't wait to read the next book in the series, The Revealing, coming out this summer.
