Book Description:
No one in the small lumber town of Calder Springs, tucked away in the remote setting of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, was prepared for the news. When the men of the village left for another day of work at the lumber mill, they did not know their lives would be dramatically changed.

But without warning the mill closing was announced. The local timber supply was gone, and the harsh reality was that no mill would open to replace what was lost. Without the lumber industry, the town would die they had seen it happen before-. No jobs, no future, and worthless homes on their hands. The best anyone can hope for is to relocate and start over.

John and Julia Harrigan had lived a tranquil, prosperous life in Calder Springs. The death of the town involves John's work, their lovely home and a bright future for their daughters. Raised in the East and educated in a fine school, Julia Harrigan seemed an unlikely candidate to change the grim reality. But by the grace of God and for the sake of John and her children, Julia decides they must find a way to save the town and home they love.

Join Julia in discovering new depths of faith and hope in God.

This is another good book from Janette Oke's Women of the west series. I really enjoyed this story. It is about faith in God and relying on im to keep you safe and show you which direction you need to go in life.

2 novels in one. Combined with "The Calling of Emily Evans". Julia's Last Hope is a story of a woman trying to find a way for her family to survive financially after her husband loses his job at the mill. Emily Evans takes on the task of opening a new church in a pioneer community.

I am hoping that as I continue to re-read Oke's Women of the West books, her writing will continue to improve, but then again, I may just let this goal go and only choose to re-read books that I know hold up well over time. This book, as with The Calling of Emily Evans, did not.
