Book Review: Alaska Calling (Alaskan Women of Caliber #2) by Maryann Landers

About the Book:

I’D REACHED MY DREAM CAREER AS AN RN

THEN THE DOUBT OF MY CALLING CHALLENGED MY FAITH.

After two years of working in a small city close to my family in Canada, my heart remains unsettled. Now, I find myself at a crossroads, not knowing which way to turn.

My calling seemed certain, now I question my career path and my relationship with my boyfriend. My futile efforts to pretend it’s all okay displace me, spinning me loose, and my world threatens to toss me into disarray. But the winds of change bring a hopeful challenge when a letter arrives from a nurse in Alaska inviting me to work at a remote clinic. Perhaps God has more in mind for me than I hope for myself.

Can I rise to this adventure and leave the familiarity of home and country?

Will I be able to set aside my own agenda and trust God’s timing?

Or will my need to have a detailed plan in all areas of my life be an obstacle too large for me to overcome?

Alaska Calling by Maryann Landers
Rating: 4.5 / 5
Pages: 144
Published: September 18, 2021
Series: Alaskan Women of Caliber

After loving the first book in this series, I was excited to read more! I hadn’t planned to wait so long between books, and hopefully I’ll get to the others sooner than I did this one. Oops!

Still, after reading the first book I had an idea of the author’s writing style, and was excited to finally be reading more of her work! I loved how this one tied into the first book in ways, and was completely unique and stood well on it’s own as well! Well done!

This one was definitely a quicker read from the start, and had a good pace throughout. I adored seeing Lou again, and also enjoyed the meet-cute in this one! The faith and message of hope and standing with God, even when that means facing the unknown or difficult challenges was strong throughout and I loved seeing Julie come to embrace that as her story unfolds.
