About the Book

 


Book:  Faith in the Mountain Valley

Author: Misty M. Beller

Genre: Christian Historical Romance

Release date: June 15, 2021

This epic journey is the only way to leave her secrets behind.

After eleven years spent looking for the girl who stole his heart, Jean-Jacques Baptiste—better known as French to his friends—is tempted to give up. Until the day he spotted the flaxen-haired stranger traveling the wooded path with Blackfoot Indians. He never imagined he’d find his childhood friend masquerading as a man in this Rocky Mountain wilderness, hundreds of miles from the Canadian town where he last saw her. No matter her reasons, he can’t let her go this time.

Colette Mignon’s life has become a cacophony of lies, including the fact that her Blackfoot Indian companions believe she’s a man. She’s willing to live the taxing life of a trapper in these desolate mountains as long as it keeps her secrets hidden. When her childhood friend and first love discovers her, his determination to help might put everything at risk.

As the worst of her past threatens to catch up with her, the hope for Colette’s new life shatters. But no matter what, she must protect the one good thing that came from all her mistakes. Though French is determined to stay at her side, she can’t let him become entangled in the perilous consequences of her actions. If only it wasn’t so painful to push him away. The danger pressing in may leave her only one choice—leave everything behind…again.

From a USA Today bestselling author comes another epic journey through breathless landscapes and adventure so intense, lives will never be the same.

Ever Played Dress-up?

I’ll bet most of us played “Let’s Pretend” when we were kids. Maybe you dressed up as a princess, or a knight, or a soldier. When we were little, my grandmother had a secondhand wedding dress she let us play with. It had the long train and veil that dragged several feet behind a grown woman. We spent so many fun hours dressing up and pretending. And of course, there were all the times my older brother and I played cowboys as we rode our horses.

With so much experience playing dress-up and “let’s pretend,” I thoroughly enjoyed writing the story of a heroine who pretended to be a man! And not just a fellow around town. She joined up with a group of five Blackfoot braves and attempted to pass herself off as a man for weeks while she lived in their camp, trapping alongside them!

She had a good reason for attempting the ruse, and you can find out if she pulls it off in Faith in the Mountain Valley. This might be my favorite of all the books in the Call of the Rockies series. I pray you enjoy it too!

My Thoughts


Faith in the Mountain Valley is the fifth book in Misty M. Beller's Call of the Rockies series. French's character has previously been introduced in the prior books in the series, but it can certainly be read as a standalone nonetheless. 

Having read a few novels by Misty M. Beller by now, one thing has become quite evident: she is a fantastic storyteller who has a great way of bringing readers into a different place and time effortlessly. Faith in the Mountain Valley was absolutely no exception... I was once again drawn in by the fantastic descriptions that transported me right to the cold of the mountains. The characters were likewise beautifully written, drawing me into their lives and wanting to learn more about them. I enjoyed seeing French and Colette's relationship play out. The story offered a great blend of adventure, romance and faith that I couldn't help but enjoy. 

Overall, I found this to be a good read that fans of historical romance are sure to want to check out.

  4. Blackfoot or Blackfeet Indians hold a special place in my heart. In middle school, my kids history teacher sponsored a member of the tribe and his father to talk Native American Indian life. He had songs he sang interwoven with background history. His dad ran the projector with images on a screen. In the story, Colette pretends she's a guy and the tale unfolds.
