Resumen del Editor

After years of schooling, Beth Thatcher has graduated and is determined to become a teacher. But when she's assigned the position no one else wants - in the tiny mining town of Coal Valley, located in the rugged foothills of western Canada - she worries she doesn't have the courage to accept. Inspired by the diary of her aunt Elizabeth, who went west to teach school several years earlier, as well as her father's encouragement, Beth eventually decides to put her trust in God and leave behind all she's ever known. 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 very little prior education, and many of the locals don't even speak English. 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 unexpected 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?

The story about a teacher leaving home

I loved listening to the story and Shared it with my family.
so they could hear it to

Beautiful

At first I found it to go slow but when Beth arrived to the town she was going to make a great difference it captivated my heart of faith and to know that God is in control of everything and if we allowed ourselves he can use us to help others for his glory and not ours
Thank you for a beautiful story

Reading aloud

Surprisingly, this was the best way to read, since I didn't have time to just 'sit' and flip pages of a book.

Great Story

I love this book, and followed the story line with When Calls the Heart on TV. I enjoyed the differences in this book, and the additional detail.

Pretty good

The book was good. I guess it bugged me her always thinking what would papa think mother or Julie. I haven't decided if I want to read the second book. The book is good just not captivating.

True enjoyment

I really enjoyed this book. I started watching the TV series on Netflix and thought I would read the book while I wait for the next season to become available. The book is a little different than the TV series but just as good!!

my grandma and family always love J. Oke books.

Good wholesome readings. Our family have loved her stories for the last 40 years. Enjoy the books on Hallmark as well.

Loved this book!

I'm NEVER disappointed by this (these) authors. Their ability to weave a story around the lives of the characters is so skillful. This is one of the "I can't put it down" journeys into the pages of another world.

Great book

Shows how teaching can be a learning experience. Great Characters. An all around good read.

Stirring

Loved this story! Loved the narrator! Stirred my soul and made me feel like I was there, and want to go back. One of the better books!
