The Calling
By Cathryn Clinton
The story of an ardent young heroine's first spiritual journey, told with warmth and humour.
During the annual family reunion and pie competition at Beulah Land Healing and Holiness Church, twelve-year old Esther Lea Ridley is suddenly drenched by a baptism of fire. "Esta Lea", she says to herself, "you are called to the Lord". And so begins her healing crusade from church to church, from revival to revival tent, travelling with her boy-crazy sister and her newly saved uncle. A brilliant, bold and hilarious first novel, introducing an exceptional talent in junior fiction.
- "This promising first novel treats questions of religious faith with wisdom, humour and affection." Publishers Weekly.
