In the small Canadian town of Brookfield, sisters Lillian Walsh and Grace Bennett continue their work caring for orphaned and abandoned children, hoping to give them the security of a loving home. But the future of their children's home is threatened when questions arise about how the sisters have handled a difficult situation involving one of the children. As scrutiny increases, Lillian must confront the consequences of decisions made with good intentions while protecting the children who depend on her. Meanwhile, Grace faces uncertainty in her personal relationships, and both sisters must rely on their faith and the support of their community. The second When Hope Calls novel explores compassion, difficult choices, forgiveness, and the perseverance required to sustain hope through adversity. This hopeful family story suits readers drawn to vulnerable children, devoted sisters, and faith sustained through difficult choices and uncertain circumstances.
