Must she give up love to pursue her calling? Astrid Bjorklund wants to use her medical training to serve God and feels that He might be leading her in the direction of missionary service. Smarting from a misunderstanding with Joshua Landsverk, the young man she thought she loved, she heads south to a missionary training school, hoping to eventually use her skills in some remote outpost in Africa. When she is called home to help in a family medical crisis, a door of opportunity opens for her unexpectedly. Perhaps the “mission field” God intends for her is not exactly what she had imagined. Plunging into her new venture with all her energy, she won’t let herself be discouraged by some disapproving townsfolk in Blessing. But when a certain young man also expresses opposition, she’s caught off guard. If she follows God’s call, will love pass her by?

"I enjoy reading/listening to Lauraine Snelling's books. She has such good morals and I know that I can listen to her books in the car with my kids. I am enjoying this story of Astrid. This is the second in the series and upon finishing it I know there will be another book coming! "

" This is the 2nd in a series by Lauraine Snelling. Compelling and inspirational. A story of faith. "
— Lori, 5/3/2011" I was annoyed by the end of the book. I felt there was little resolved between the first book and this book. I'm sure book 3 will wrap it up. I've read most of Lauraine Snelling's book and, while I've loved her other books, this one is my least favorite. "

— Laityfamily, 10/21/2010" Second book in the Home to Blessing series. It will be sad day when this series is over. But Lauraine Snelling just finished #3 in this series and I can't wait to get to it. Good clean, wholesome, uplifting, Christian writing. Can't beat it. "
— Joanne, 10/5/2010" Love it! Of course I've loved most of the books of Blessing, but this series has been the best yet. <br/> <br/>Can't wait for the third book of this set. Can I tell the author to get to writing? :) "
— Elentarien, 9/10/2010" A nice christian based book that had a good feel to it w/out a lot of mushy preaching. "
— Cathy, 9/9/2010" -A young girl in the early 1900’s becomes a doctor and plans to be a missionary in Africa. She finds out that what we plan isn’t always what God has planned. If we’re smart we end up doing His will not ours. "
