The Calling by Suzanne Woods Fisher a Litfuse Book Review
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.

My Review: Oh it’s so nice to head back to the Inn at Eagle Hill in Stoney Ridge and it’s cast of characters. If you can tell from my reviews I enjoy a series where we get to come back with a completely new storyline but still see how our former heroines and heroes are doing.
This time the focus is on Bethany and there’s a new guest at the miracle inn. In this season at Eagle Hill Bethany is finding herself. This was a fun book to read. The quirky characters of Stoney Ridge are quirky as usual. I have enjoyed the character of Jimmy through this whole series and this book is where Jimmy comes of age.
The Stoney Ridge books have a touch of humour but still that bit of romance we like in our storylines. There are lots of little background stories going on including that of older brother Tobe, the ancient five sisters, and all the other great characters.
Another great Amish story with a different twist.
