About The Calling: In Book Two in the Inn at Eagle Hill series. 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 Thoughts: We all have skeletons in our closets and this story deals with the ones in an Amish community such as how they deal with mental illness. It has a lot a characters with different issues and how they all come to terms with them. Bethany needed to deal with her past to be able to move forward just like I have also have needed to come to terms with past issues in my lifetime in order to move on. I found this book to be a very fascinating read.
