A Mission in her Heart (Clean Wholesome Christian Romance) (Called Across Waters #1)

She thought her story ended in heartbreak. God was just getting started.

Joanne Bergman always followed the rules. She stayed close to home, helped run the family lodge in the quiet Northwoods of Wisconsin, and tried, really tried, to let go of Clayton, the childhood friend who never quite chose her. But when her younger sister marries Joanne's ex-boyfriend and Clayton arrives at the wedding with a dazzling new fianc?e, something inside her finally snaps.

She's tired of waiting in the wings.

One church sermon. One whispered prayer. One unexpected application to serve as a missionary in Belarus. Suddenly, Joanne finds herself on a path she never planned... away from everything familiar and toward a calling she never dared to imagine.

Trading wedding gifts for a worn-out suitcase, and small-town comfort for culture shock, Joanne begins a journey of surrender and rediscovery. Along the way, she meets fellow missionaries, faith-stretching challenges, and a kind-hearted stranger who just might understand her better than anyone back home.

But this isn't a story about romance... not first and not most.

This is about a woman learning to say yes to God even when it costs her everything.

And discovering, in the process, that the heart she thought was broken might still hold a deeper purpose... and maybe even a new beginning.

Perfect for readers who love:

Faith-filled journeys of healing and hope

Small-town heroines stepping into global callings

Gentle romance with emotional depth

Clean Christian fiction rooted in Scripture and grace

A Mission in Her Heart is the unforgettable first novel in the Called Across Waters series, an inspiring new Christian women's fiction series about obedience, second chances, and the quiet courage it takes to follow God's lead... even when the path is uncertain.
