When Calls the Heart by Janette Oke
4.0

A gentle story of a young teacher who travels to a rural area past Calgary to teach in a new school, and which reminds me of the need to re-read [b:Mrs. Mike|155712|Mrs. Mike|Benedict Freedman|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1309212489s/155712.jpg|3232591]. It doesn't have the hard edges and crushing realities of Mrs. Mike, but does touch on the tough life a Mountie and his family might have. Elizabeth has to adjust to living away from her family and to dealing with the wildlife - both large and small - which surround her. She becomes attached to the children she teaches, finding both happiness and sadness there as she grows in self-confidence as both a young woman out on her own and as a teacher.
