ABOUT THE BOOK...
Her courage and her heart will be tested in ways she never expected…
Beth Thatcher has spent her
entire life in the safe, comfortable world of her family, her friends,
and the social outings her father’s wealth provides. But Beth is about
to leave it all behind to accept a teaching position in the rugged
foothills of western Canada. Inspired by her aunt Elizabeth, who went
west to teach school several years ago, and gently encouraged by her
father, Beth resolves to put her trust in God and bravely face any
challenge that comes her way.
But the conditions in Coal
Valley are even worse than she’d feared. A recent mining accident has
left the town grieving and at the mercy of the mining company. The
children have had very little prior education, and many of the locals
don’t even speak English. There isn’t even a proper schoolhouse. In
addition, Beth’s heart is torn between two young men–both Mounties, one a
lifelong friend and the other a kind, quiet man who comes to her aid
more than once.
Despite the many challenges,
Beth is determined to make a difference in the rustic frontier town.
But when her sister visits from the East, reminding her of all the
luxuries she’s had to give up, will Beth decide to return to her
privileged life as soon as the school year is over?

REVIEW...
The main character is Elizabeth Thatcher. She was from the East and a family that was quite wealthy. She wasn't totally happy with being the pride of society. She needed more. She learned to teach and went out West after getting a teaching position in an isolated mountain town of miners. This position was only for one year and then she would go back home.
Her trip back West to Coal Valley didn't go well. All of her belongings were stolen and she lost some very cherished items that her father had given her. Among the things stolen were the books for her teaching. Edward was her traveling companion and he was responsible for her luggage. Being a Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman, he wasn't very responsible.
Beth arrived to some very bad living, run down houses, out houses, hardly any stores and deep forests surrounding the town. But Beth was willing to have a go at it. She lived in the boarding house and her classroom was in a building that used to be a saloon. She had faith and knew God was with her.
Beth was a giver, willing to help anyone in need. That can sometimes lead to trouble. I found this book to be so loving. It makes you feel like Beth and all in Coal Valley were your friends. The authors wrote with such compassion and love. The authors characterized Beth in such a charming way. I felt like she would be every reader's sweetheart. the author's wrote a wonderful book that takes the reader into Beth's world as she goes from the wealthy family into a mining town of a different world. I would recommend this to any reader who loves stories about the West and how one woman made such a difference. This is definitely a keeper and a book to be read and re-read.
I would give this book 4 VIOLINS. 
I was given a complimentary copy of WHERE COURAGE CALLS by Janette Oke and Laurel Oke Logan from Litfuse Publicity for my honest opinion. No other compensation took place.
