Book: This Daring Journey
Author: Misty M. Beller
Genre: Christian Historical Romance
Release Date: March 26, 2019

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 Review:

This is the first book that I have read from author Misty M. Beller. This isn’t the first book in this series but the sixth book. However I was able to read it as a standalone story without feeling like I was trying to catch up in the story. I’m sure I missed a lot of depth in the story but this was enjoyable as a standalone.

The main characters are Samuel Grant and Moriah and her infant daughter Cherry. Moriah’s husband Henry has died a while back. She has a three week old daughter and knows she can’t stay in the cabin by herself anymore. When Samuel is summoned to bring Henry back to his sister’s wedding. What he finds as he comes to the cabin is a dangerous situation and he finds his self helping Moriah from some brutish men. Samuel agrees to take Moriah who is half Indian to her people during the winter time. The trek isn’t easy due to the season being in the winter but, traveling with an infant makes the task a lot more difficult in the Canadian Mountains.

This was a heartfelt story and the author’s words and creativity grabbed my attention from the first few pages till the last. Her words brought the story alive. The author did a great job bringing the characters and the journey alive with her words.

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.
