In the 1880's, before there was the US Coast Guard, there was the United States Life-Saving Service. Shipwreck victims were plucked out of stormy waters by strong and courageous surfmen who did their jobs in rowboats. Love's Highest Calling is a story of these heroes and the women who served with them.
Due to a family emergency, Phoebe Tyler, a young Society woman, travels to one of the most isolated stations in the life-saving system - Plovers Point on the shores of Lake Superior in Michigan. She is appalled by the primitive conditions, and the one thought carrying her through each day is that she will soon be able to return home to civilization. When circumstances compel her to remain longer than she had hoped, she experiences unfamiliar physical work, lakeshore rescues, and the pointed attentions of one Marcus Hamilton, an unrefined yet compelling surfmen. A new yearning rises within her to seek a fulfilling purpose for her life. When Marcus professes his love, Phoebe knows she will have to make a choice between the advantageous marriage her family so desperately needs and God's call to follow her heart and His path. And... there is a dog, a black Newfoundland named Gypsy, who is a fine rescuer in her own right.
A Novel of 1880s Victorian America, Social Opposites, A Heroine's Journey, Unsuitable Love, and and deciding between a good choice and the Best choice.
Do you prefer your romance set in a vivid historical setting with a spiritual arc, enjoy heroes of the lifesaving kind, and strong-minded, plucky heroines?
