Description

When she is called home unexpectedly to help in a family medical emergency, physician Astrid Bjorklund learns of a deadly measles outbreak on the nearby Indian reservation. She immediately senses the Spirit tugging her to help the Indians and wonders if her "mission field" is not so far away as she had imagined. But if she follows God's call, will love pass her by?

Love it! Of course I've loved most of the books of Blessing, but this series has been the best yet. Can't wait for the third book of this set. Can I tell the author to get to writing? :)

This may be the second book in this series, but there are other series about this same town and its inhabitants. Maybe if you had read about the town of Blessing from its beginning, you would be more invested in these characters, but it seems like they suffer from a lack development to those of us

who have not already read about them. This novel deals with women’s health, specifically pregnant women and miscarriages. But most of the book is spent on Astrid and her inability to make up her mind about going to Africa or not. She just can’t figure out what God is calling her to do. It seems pretty obvious to the reader where she is most needed, but poor Astrid takes the entire book to figure that out. Not the most thought-provoking novel, though I think that’s what it is intended to be. Somehow, it misses the mark.

face where she should be. There are many tough questions Astrid must ask herself and seek wisdom from many people. Although this story didn't end the way I thought it would, I was very satisfied with the ending. This story picks up right where book one left off, so I enourage you to read book one first and then get ready to read book three after you finish so see how this series will end for Astrid.
