About The Book:
"Misty Beller is a new author well worth watching out for."--Lauraine Snelling, author of The Red River of the North series
"I've long been a Misty Beller fan and her book Hope's Highest Mountain didn't disappoint."--Tracie Peterson, bestselling author
"Readers will be delighted."--Regina Jennings, author of The Lieutenant's Bargain
"Misty M. Beller brings the nineteenth-century American frontier to vivid life!"--Laura Frantz, Christy Award-winning author of The LacemakerWhen Ingrid Chastain agreed to accompany her father to deliver vaccines to a mining town in the Montana Territory, she never could have anticipated a terrible accident would leave her alone and badly injured in the wilderness. Rescue comes in the form of a mysterious mountain man who tends her injuries, but she's hesitant to put her trust in this man who seems to have wounds of his own.
After tragedy struck his family, Micah Bradley left his work as a doctor and escaped to the wilds of Montana. But his self-imposed solitude is broken when he finds Ingrid in desperate need of medical attention, and he's forced to call on his doctoring skills once again.
Micah can't help but admire Ingrid's tenacity despite the severity of her injuries, until he learns the crate she brought contains smallpox vaccines to help quell a nearby outbreak. With Ingrid dead set on delivering the medicine--with or without his help--he has no choice but to accompany her. As they set off through the treacherous, snow-covered Rocky Mountains against all odds, the journey ahead will change their lives more than they could have known.

My Review:
A few years ago I spent some time in Montana. That made me want to see how the author portrayed the state in this book. I was thrilled with what she did. This story is rugged, emotional, beautiful and breath catching at times, just like the land it is set in. It focuses on letting go of our issues and letting God lead us and do His thing. It takes on on a journey of hearts and lives, life and death, and more than I can put into a review. I feel like I have been back to Montana, just under different circumstances and on an adventure I'm glad to not have missed. Fantastic characters, strong faith elements.
5 Big Stars!
