Love's Highest Calling

"A society lady. A rugged surfman. A soul-wrenching choice."

In the 1880's, before there was the US Coast Guard, there was the US Life-Saving Service. Shipwreck victims were plucked out of stormy waters by strong and courageous surfmen who accomplished rescues using rowboats. LOVE'S HIGHEST CALLING is a story of these heroes. 

To support her ailing cousin, society woman Phoebe Tyler travels to an isolated life-saving station on the shore of Lake Superior in Michigan. She is appalled by the primitive conditions and longs to return home to civilization. When circumstances compel her to remain longer than planned, she experiences unfamiliar physical work, lakeshore rescues, and the pointed attentions of one Marcus Hamilton, an unrefined yet compelling surfman. A new yearning rises within her to seek a fulfilling purpose for her life. Phoebe realizes she will have to make a soul-wrenching choice between the advantageous marriage her family so desperately needs and God's call to follow her heart and His path. And… there is a dog, a black Newfoundland named Gypsy, who is a fine rescuer in her own right.
