​Ivy Knight feels that her life may never start. Though her loving family assures her that her place in the world is close to home, she still feels a push to move out of her comfort zone. Hoping against hope, she travels to her old friends at McCale House, seeking a purpose.

Jordy McAllen has just returned to Scotland after his education in London. He fears that what everyone has always said about him may be true: he can’t be a good doctor, let alone a good man. Determined to prove himself, Jordy snatches up the opportunity to become the doctor in the village of Keefmore near his parents’ farm.

​When an old friend decides to travel to Keefmore and visit a relative, Ivy follows. She soon finds herself drawn to Jordy, but as their attraction grows, they both face doubts. A relationship between the two of them feels improbable—and might just require a step of impossible faith.Buy the Book:Amazon

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

Ivy and her twin sister were so different. Alice was very active and into many activities. Ivy was more of a home body. When their biological parents remarried, even her dad was a stranger. It was then that her uncle and grandmother put her in a school where kids go that have trouble. After a while, Ivy started enjoying herself, that is until she heard the screams at night. And Ivy had no idea what was going on or who the girl was. Would she ever find out? Would Ivy even try to find the girl?

Kellyn Roth writes another fantastic novel with a cast of wonderful engaging characters that will stay with you for a while. Ivy was such a sweet girl, and I liked her immediately. I was glad to see she was put in a place that had people to really care for her. Some places are not that nice, they more or less treat the children like a number. I think Ms. Roth knocked this one out of the ball park. To me, Ivy Introspective was an amazing read that I give Five Stars.

A special thanks to the author/publisher for a copy of this book. I am not required to write a positive review, the opinions here are mine alone. I am disclosing this with my review in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

Beyond Her Calling is the fourth book in The Chronicles of Alice and Ivy Series by Kellyn Roth. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series so mu h. Kellyn Roth is a phenomenal writer, and I love her writing style. Beyond Her Calling is Ivy’s story. She is somewhat confused about what she should do. And after a lot of prayer she ends up at the McCale House on Scotland. Little did she know she would meet Jordy and Claire, and thry would soon be her friends. Life was not easy for this trio, especially Ivy. I could relate to Ivy with some things. My heart went out to her a lot in this book. I plan on reading this book and the entire series again soon.

Kellyn Roth is amazing. I love her characters and I love how the develop throughout the book. In this book, Ivy had a lot to learn and sometimes it wasn’t always easy. But it was fun following her, and I love the trip to Scotland. A place I have always wanted to go. With Roth’s high in research and phenomenal detailed writing of each scene, this story pulled me in so deep that I felt like I was right there in Scotland with them. I love that about this book. I also love how Roth has her characters live the Christian life throughout the book. I love Ivy’s love for the Lord and his she wants to serve Him. And she does this in such a subtle way. Beyond Her Calling is one you do not want to miss if you enjoy this type of book. I strongly encourage you to check this book out for your enjoyment.

A special thanks to the author/publisher for a copy of this book. I am not required to write a positive review, the opinions here are mine alone. I am disclosing this with my review in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.

About the Author

Kellyn Roth

Kellyn Roth is a Christian historical women’s fiction & romance author from North-Eastern Oregon who has independently published multiple novels, the most notable being The Chronicles of Alice and Ivy series. You should definitely call her Kell.

Kell lives on family-owned property outside an unmemorable but historical town with her parents, two little brothers, arbitrary cat, precious border collies, a dozen cows, and lots of chickens. She also possesses a classic, vintage aesthetic which does not at all speak to her country girl side, but such is life.

When not writing, Kell likes to blog, teach writing to her various students, have day jobs which allow her to keep her car properly insured, and spend lavish amounts of money on Dairy Queen french fries.

.

I find The Dressmaker’s Secret a very interesting and intriguing historical fiction to read. Claire has a good business and is raising her twins herself. No one knows or needs to know who the father is. This is one secret she will keep, even from her daughters. But Alice has a different story. She wants a father, and will search until she finds who he is.

This book takes many twists and turns, as Alice goes on her search for her father. Does she find him? Read the book and you will find out. I grew to love these characters. They developed well throughout the book, though sometimes things were not so easy. Author Kellyn Roth is new for me, and I enjoyed the way she handled the situations throughout the book, especially those that were tougher to deal with. I enjoyed her writing very much and can’t wait to read the next book in this series. If you enjoy historical fiction, you will enjoy this one.

A special thanks to the author/publisher for a copy of this book. I am not required to write a positive review, the opinions here are mine alone. I am disclosing this with my review in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.

More from Kellyn

I’ve honestly never rewritten a book as many times as I rewrote The Dressmaker’s Secret, and I hope I never do.A first draft flew out of me one November when I was fourteen, and before the next November had come around, I’d gone through twelve drafts, changed points of view multiple times, and eventually rewrote the whole thing from scratch.The ending especially went through many, many versions … until at last I settled on the final. Or so I thought.Not long after, some more issues were called to light, and I revised again. And again. Years passed. I went through over twenty-five drafts! And, at the time, I liked all of them. Would I ever like one for longer than a month, though?Well, turns out, it was possible! I’m over a year and a half into loving my draft of The Dressmaker’s Secret – e.g. the published draft – and that’s not likely to change any time soon.This book taught me a lot. It practically taught me how to write – and edit! – a good book, and it made me really focus in on quality, even when it took some humility to admit I was wrong and critics were right – or, sometimes, that my gut was right. It taught me to not give up on something I love. It taught me that the risks I always wanted to take are worth taking. It taught me that no mistake is too great to be corrected … well, in some ways, at least.And it taught me that there’s a great God out there who has grace for all my delays and mistakes and learning experiences.So, that’s the story of how The Dressmaker’s Secret came to be written!
