Celebrate Lit Blog Tour: Call to Embrace by Maryann Landers





Book: Call to Embrace

Author: Maryann Landers

Genre: Christian Women’s Fiction

Release Date: November 1, 2023

She’s detached in a stormy marriage because of both of their unfaithfulness. Now she faces the aftermath of her compromise with an unwanted pregnancy. Will fleeing bring her the freedom she yearns for?

Emily Corentin wants to escape the jagged edges of her brokenness. She believes the only option she has is to take her young daughter, leave her husband, and end the unintended pregnancy with an abortion. But her plans take an unexpected turn when the homeless shelter she finds is not the type of help she wanted. She’d buried religion years ago with the death of her Gran. Any God-fearing place will only confirm how much God abandoned her.

An offer from a shelter volunteer may be the lifeline she and her daughter need, but Emily only sees it as a means to an end. The unlikely friendship that follows, draws her closer to the answers she may have carried with her all along. But rash decisions bring new challenges that drag her further into a sea of helplessness.

When all hope is lost in despair will she be washed away by the patterns of her past? Or will she answer the call to embrace the mercy of the cross and in turn bring reconciliation to her marriage?

I really enjoy New to me Authors and New Series. Call to Embrace by Maryann Landers is Book 1 in the new series Hope of His Calling. I have not read any books by Maryann Landers before now and I am glad to be starting with a new series. 

I absolutely LOVED this book from the very first chapter. The book is Emily and Eric Corentin story. Eric is deployed and Emily has a one night stand that results in a Pregnancy. Emily makes some sudden decisions which includes leaving with her daughter and finding a homeless shelter to stay at. She has plans to terminate the "unwanted pregnancy". Emily's life is changed by a Volunteer at the Homeless Shelter. Emily is not a religious person as she denounced God many years ago when her grandma died. The Homeless Shelter is a Christian organization. The Volunteer at the Shelter speaks to Emily with God's truth and it totally changed Emily's heart. The author does an AMAZING job at addressing sensitive topics(Martial Infidelity and Abortion) with grace. I also LOVE that Emily had a change of mind about her circumstances after hearing God's word and encouragement from Rose the Homeless Shelter volunteer. This book is one about Faith, LOVE, Restoration of Marriage, Forgiveness,  and so much more! It truly is a HEARTWARMING book! I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone needing encouragement in life and struggling in their faith. I am looking forward to the next books in this series! GREAT BOOK!

More from Maryann

Call to Embrace is inspired by a true story of a young mom that I met over 13 years ago as I walked alongside her during a difficult time of her life. A year and a half ago I stood in the Pacific Ocean dip netting for salmon near the mouth of the Kenai River. As the waters tugged at my waders, I remembered the church set on the hill behind me where a cross is always lit as a beacon and I thought there is a story here. With anticipation, I prayed what God wanted me to share. What unfolded is the plot line of my friendship with that young mom set in the stunning geographical area of South-Central Alaska.
