Review
I've read other stories by Margaret Sharp and enjoyed her wisdom and gentle, direct style.
Without wanting to share any spoilers, I found the plot for "Amelia's Call" quite different to the romances I generally read, and not for me. That's a personal issue of reading preferences -- as is my difficulty connecting with the occasional use of first person, present tense.
The strong focus on Amelia, the heroine, works well and beginning with a wedding is a very effective introduction -- conflict and emotion are heightened.
The anguish of real life dilemmas and the painful journey to maturity and self-awareness is bravely confronted in "Amelia's Call".
