The Calling by Suzanne Woods Fisher~~A Litfuse Publicity Group Book Review, Blog Tour with Six Chances to win an iPad, Kindle, or Nook !

 

Another Wonderful Visit to The Inn at Eagle Hill

The Calling is the second book in The Inn at Eagle Hill series by Suzanne Wood's Fisher; the first was The Letters. Although this book can do well as a stand-alone, I suggest that you read the first book in the series first. This will help you get to know the characters, and to understand the plot better. I enjoyed reading The Letters so much that when The Calling was available for review I requested it right away. I was not disappointed.

The first book in The Inn at Eagle Hill series, The Letters, focused on newly widowed mother of five, Rose Schrock, who needing a way to support her family turned her home in Stoney Ridge into The Inn at Eagle Hill. The Calling turns the spotlight on Rose's step-daughter Bethany, who is struggling with coming to terms with the death of her father and her brother's disappearance. She is also dealing with the break-up between her and Jake Hertzler; as well as trying to figure out what to do about Jimmy Fisher!

I also enjoyed catching up with the other characters and meeting someone new to Stony Ridge. Bethany's younger sister, Mim, has secretly become the columnist "Mrs. Miracle" for the local paper. The youngest Schrock's, Luke and Sammy are still full of energy. I also enjoyed finding out more about Naomi, Galen, and especially the five elderly sisters, Sylvia, Ella, Fannie, Lena, and Ada. Geena Spence, the newest guest at the inn, is a youth pastor who is trying to figure out what God wants her to do next.

I loved how these characters interacted with each other bringing Stoney Ridge to life. I also loved the suspense and mystery surrounding the story! It kept me guessing as the story progressed.

I look forward to the next book in the series The Revealing which is due in July 2014.

About the Book:

Book Two in the Inn at Eagle Hill series.

Bestselling author Suzanne Woods Fisher delivers her trademark twists, turns, and tender romance in this delightful and exciting visit to the deceptively quiet community of Stoney Ridge.

Twenty-year-old Bethany Schrock is restless. Her love life has derailed, her faith hangs by a thread, and she is spending the incredibly hot summer days wading through a lifetime’s accumulation of junk at the home of five ancient Amish sisters. About the only thing that holds her interest is the spirited and dangerously handsome Jimmy Fisher–and he seems bent on irritating her to no end.

When the sly old sisters and a guest at the Inn get Bethany involved in running the local soup kitchen and starting a community garden, she suddenly finds herself wondering, Shootfire! How did that happen? Despite her newfound purposefulness, a gnawing emptiness about a childhood mystery continues to plague her. Encouraged by Jimmy Fisher, she will seek out the answers she craves–and uncover a shocking secret that will break her heart, heal it, and point her to love.
