FROM THE BOOK-
No one writes heartwarming frontier stories like Janette Oke. This exclusive 3-in-1 edition, created especially for Crossings members, brings the West to life through the eyes of three of Oke's strong young heroines.
In The Calling of Emily Evans, Emily expects that God will provide a husband to join her in ministry. When the opportunity to marry does not present itself Emily opens a church on the Canadian prairie...alone.
Everyone in Calder Springs is shocked when the lumber mill suddenly closes in Julia's Last Hope. Faced with the prospect of abandoning the home she loves, Julia must find a way to save her beloved town.
And Roses for Mama finds Angela and her brother Thomas caring for their three young siblings after their parents die. Although she's devoted to the children, Angela wonders if she is worthy to meet the challenge.
Brave the frontier with these faithful women as they face supreme trials, hardships, and joy.
