I was looking for a short, light novel to read after the intense Eyes Wide Open series I just finished by Ted Dekker. I came upon this book by Janette Oke. It was free and I enjoy Love Comes Softly.
This book tells the story of Emily, a young woman who answers the call of God to go forth and preach. Much to her father's dismay, this means she is going to travel and answer that call alone. Emily feels certain that she is doing God's will, but she struggles with her studies and her health.
I plodded through the first 20% of the book and sighed. I was up to the part where Emily was leaving home to accept her new position, but I was uninterested. Up to that point, I had read about her schooling and a few trips home. There were a couple descriptions of classmates, but there just wasn't much to hold my interest.
I gave up at 20%. This isn't my kind of book at all. I couldn't get myself involved in the story or Emily. This one is a pass for me.
A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here
A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!
