Rebecca Reviews ~ Hopes Highest Mountain (Heirs of Montana #1) by Misty Beller + GIVEAWAY

Paperback, 336 pages
Published October 1st 2019 by Bethany House Publishers

On her way to deliver vaccines to a mining town in the Montana Territory, Ingrid Chastain never anticipated a terrible accident would leave her alone and badly injured in the wilderness. When rescue comes in the form of a mysterious mountain man, she's hesitant to trust him, but the journey ahead will change their lives more than they could have known.


Rebecca's Review
3 STARS!!!


"God has a plan in this . . . . We need only to make sure we follow His leading."

Ingrid Chastain's plans were to accompany her father to Settler's Fort with life-saving vaccines, but when a tragic accident leaves her critically injured on the side of a Montana mountain, she suddenly has to rely on a reticent savior, a mountain man who introduces himself as none other then Dr. Micah Bradley.

Micah Bradley has been battling hopelessness and despair since losing his young wife and daughter to the ravages of small pox. Happening upon the wreckage of a supply wagon, he is able to rescue the lone survivor and transport her back to his rustic camp site.The lovely young woman has suffered much and is in no shape to travel, yet she insists that they continue across the snow-laden wilderness with the contents of a carefully wrapped crate. Their journey, and that of those they meet along the way, proves that eternal hope may be found on the highest mountains as well as the darkest valleys.

Readers will feel as if their own feet are slipping along the icy trails in this dramatic story of survival against all odds, as Micah's faith is rediscovered and strengthened through the sweet example of the one whom he declares that, "God kept you alive for me."

I received a copy of this book from the author and publisher. The opinions stated above are entirely my own.

  2. I've heard a lot of good things about Misty's books, but I haven't read one yet. It was fun meeting her at CFRR in April.

    I'm looking forward to Memories of Glass by Melanie Dobson. I'm a tad behind in my reading schedule! Right now I'm about halfway through Always Look Twice by Elizabeth Goddard. It's great, so far.
