ABOUT THE BOOK

As a half-Indian raised among her Peigan tribe, Moriah Clark knows better than to trust white people. The tragedy that resulted in her birth is proof enough. But when her trusted grandfather marries her to a white man, she has no choice to but to obey and hope this new life isn’t her downfall. Her white husband turns out to be a decent sort, but his unexpected death left her to birth a newborn baby among hostile mountain men. She wants nothing more than to retreat to the safe haven of her tribal upbringing. When a mysterious frontiersman arrives on her doorstep seeking her deceased husband, his offer to escort her and the babe to her people seems like the opportunity she’s been praying to find. But can she trust him?

Samuel Grant has been sent to retrieve Henry Clark for his sister’s wedding, but the sight that greets him at the little cabin in the woods is not what he expected. Not only has the man died, but Henry’s wife is fighting off an aggressive gang of men at gunpoint—while trying to conceal a newborn. He can’t leave the pair unattended, so helping her travel into the mountain country to reach her family seems like the only option. If he can win her trust, that is.

Such a grueling journey with a three-week-old baby will be risky, but the challenges that arise test them far more than either expected. When a devastating surprise increases the danger ten-fold, Moriah focuses all her efforts on keeping her newborn daughter alive. Maybe that’s why she doesn’t realize how much of her heart belongs to the mountain man—until it’s too late.

MY BOOK REVIEW

Daring Journey is book six of "the Heart of the Mountains" series. I would suggest reading the first five books because it is a great series but it can be read as a stand-alone too. We are taken into the beautiful but harsh Canadian mountains as we follow Moriah, a recent widower, who left the home her husband built to seek out her mother's people. She if half Peigan. She has to be resourceful and determined because she must keep her newborn and herself alive. Samuel Grant finds her when he arrives at the cabin looking for Henry Grant. Samuel escorts them to make sure they stay safe. They grow to trust each other and help each other get through many varieties of trials and obstacles. One of them is running into a Native boy. He finds out her husband passed away.

The characters in this story are relatable. You feel their emotions and the struggles they are going through. You feel the love of family and their spiritual growth.

You have Moriah a resourceful, determined but has doubts with being half-Indian heritage.
Samuel Grant is kind, warming, and loyal. Matisse, the teenager they met on the way, has been abandoned at the age of two. He is half Peigan, but was raised by a white trapper. He is very helpful. Then you have Baby Cherry who you care so deeply.

This story is redemption, trust, faith, family and second chances. "The Daring Journey" is not a preachy book. It is spiritual, faith and inspirational, but not preachy. I would highly recommend this series. I can see Hallmark making this series into movies.

I was given an ebook via Celebrate Lit Tours and was under no obligation to post a positive review. All comments and opinions are solely my own.

MORE FROM MISTY

How did I get started writing?

I’ve always loved to read, but several years ago I was putting together my bucket list, and realized that I really did want to write a novel. So, “Write a novel that’s published” made it near the top!

I decided, it’s now or never, and made the commitment to do it. So, I had a general idea that I wanted it to be a Christian historical western romance. But where to start? I finally decided I needed to find a good book to help me plan. I stumbled upon (a.k.a. God led me to) the best possible book to help me get started with a great plan: Plot and Structure by James Scott Bell. For all you writers out there, I can’t recommend it highly enough!

From there, I’ve soaked in every bit of writing instruction I can from some amazing groups and individuals. And I’ve spent countless hours sitting with my laptop pouring out words onto the screen. Writing is in my blood. It’s my passion. A true gift from my Heavenly Father, and I pray daily that he uses the words for His purpose.
