"Daughters of Jacob Kane" (#2) Maggie Rose

By Sharlene MacLaren

Description:

The year is 1904, and twenty-year-old Maggie Rose, the middle of Jacob Kane's three daughters, is determined to leave the comfort and security of the resort town in which she's always lived, Sandy Shores, Michigan, to carry out what she can only describe as a direct call from God. A lover of children, she develops a zealous passion for the homeless waifs wandering the dirt-trodden streets of New York City when an orphanage missionary visits her church to describe the utter destitution there and the orphanage's frantic search for financial donors and workers. Convincing her father to bless her newfound calling proves a challenge, but in time, he recognizes it as genuine and slowly unties his parental strings. Thus, begins her journey into unknown territory full of adventure, heartache, danger, and unexpected romance.

Book Takeaway:

When we follow God's lead, He takes us into places we couldn't have imagined. We are human and prone to show our frailties, but God's strength never fails to uphold us.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wanted to show that when God puts a call on one's life, it's best to obey.
