When Calls the Heart by Janette Oke
5.0

While this does share a name With the Hallmark show, neither are the same.

When Calls The Heart is the first book in the Canadian West series by Janette Oke. Elizabeth puts here trust in God and excepts a teaching position on the Canadian frontier. While determined to stay, she learns new things and makes new friends. Maybe even find love as well.

What I liked most about this book as well as other’s by this author is that I get so immersed in the story that I could barely put it down. While the romance toward the end did seem a little rushed it could also just have been that fact that this is less than 300 pages. This was such a good story and start to a series that I’m surprised they did not stick to it while making the show. I think it would have been more interesting. From what I understand and have read the Elizabeth in the show is this Elizabeth’s niece.

A fantastic start to a series and a great book perfect for fans of Mrs. Oke or Christian romances in general.
