For someone so strong-willed and certain, Ella Yoder has never been more unsure of her life. It's been a year since she convinced her father to move with her and her younger sister Junia to Marigold, Ohio, to open E and J Grocery. Ella's got a keen eye for running a business and has big dreams to expand. But her plans are stalled because Junia refuses to lift a finger at the store—or listen to her about anything.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 673
Three-time Christy Award winner Davis Bunn collaborates with Janette Oke to evoke the tumult of first-century Judea in the wake of Christ’s crucifixion. Although she prefers service in Pontius Pilate’s palace to a loveless marriage, Leah is betrothed to a Roman centurion. Before he can have Leah, however, he must go on a secret mission. But when a rabbi’s missing body sends Leah and Alban after the same answers, what they discover could change all they hold dear.

Story was great, ended horribly
The story was great until the abrupt and confusing end. Really leaves you hanging as if the electric went out in the middle of a cliff hanger on a tv show. Otherwise it’s very good.

So much like older Janette Oke books
I'm halfway through the series at this point. This is the beloved story telling that I fell in love with from Janette Oke's first book. And Nancy Peterson never fails to delight me as a narrator. Heads up...book 2 is even better!

So easy to listen too! So full of hope. Love the childrens story and the narrator’s way of sharing. It felt like you were there! Love the Christian aspects and the way God worked in everyone’s life. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Touching and inspiring
Janette Oke books have been my go to ever since I realized the Hallmark show “When Calls The Heart” was based on her novels. I fell in love with the series the show was based on (books are WAY better). As someone who has a tender heart for children this book was inspirational as well as entertaining. The story of two sisters answering God’s call and loving/accepting children into their hearts and lives touched me deeply. I’m so excited to start the next book in the series, and I haven’t looked, but I hope it won’t be the last!!

Great Book!!!
This story left you hanging at the end! There Must be a book 2, because the writer left you with to many unanswered questions. It will be very disappointed if there is no book 2!!!😕
