The High Calling

by Gilbert Morris Book 37 in the House of Winslow series.

Amazon

4.4(91)

During the Second World War, Kat Winslow devotes herself to missionary work and believes that service has given her life a clear direction. That certainty is unsettled when two men from her past re-enter her life, each carrying expectations that conflict with the future she has imagined for herself.

War gives Kat’s private choice a broader urgency. Family members are separated by service and uncertainty, while the language of duty can apply equally to faith, marriage and national sacrifice. Her struggle is not simply to choose between two suitors, but to decide whether a true calling is defined by the work she has chosen or by obligations that arise unexpectedly through love and family.
