Sometimes that means that I will be hopelessly lost without a clue throughout the entire book. I can thankfully say that was not the case with <em><strong>This Daring Journey<\/strong><\/em> by Misty M. Beller. It easily stood on its own merits and was a complete story by itself. I was mostly through the book before I encountered more than a mention of other characters who I assume were featured in previous novels. I was impressed enough by some of Samuel&#8217;s family and friends that I hope to have the chance to read the previous novels of this series.<\/p>\n<p>I thoroughly enjoyed this novel featuring half-Indian Moriah Clark who had no choice but to trust Samuel, a white man, to help her get back to her family following the death of her husband. A grueling story of survival, their journey consisted of one mishap after another that forced the pair to trust one another in order to stay alive as well as keep Moriah&#8217;s infant daughter safe. I loved the characters and how their relationship slowly but naturally developed, their strength of purpose, and Samuel&#8217;s strong integrity and protective nature.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>This Daring Journey<\/strong><\/em> was a wonderful book and I will most certainly be looking for more books by this talented author.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10857\" title=\"divider2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png 317w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2-150x28.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by Celebrate Lit.

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\u2019t 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\u2019s been praying to find. But can she trust him?<\/p>\n<p>Samuel Grant has been sent to retrieve Henry Clark for his sister\u2019s 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\u2019s wife is fighting off an aggressive gang of men at gunpoint\u2014while trying to conceal a newborn. He can\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s why she doesn\u2019t realize how much of her heart belongs to the mountain man\u2014until it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2FTfEK9\">here<\/a> to purchase your copy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-24205 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Misty-300x271.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Misty-300x271.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Misty-300x271-150x136.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Misty M. Beller<\/strong> writes romantic mountain stories, set on the 1800s frontier and woven with the truth of God\u2019s love.<\/p>\n<p>She was raised on a farm in South Carolina, so her Southern roots run deep. Growing up, her family was close, and they continue to keep that priority today. Her husband and children now add another dimension to her life, keeping her both grounded and crazy.<\/p>\n<p>God has placed a desire in Misty\u2019s heart to combine her love for Christian fiction and the simpler ranch life, writing historical novels that display God\u2019s abundant love through the twists and turns in the lives of her characters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE FROM MISTY:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>How did I get started writing? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve 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, \u201cWrite a novel that\u2019s published\u201d made it near the top!<\/p>\n<p>I decided, <em>it\u2019s now or never<\/em>, 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: <em>Plot and Structure<\/em> by James Scott Bell. For all you writers out there, I can\u2019t recommend it highly enough!<\/p>\n<p>From there, I\u2019ve soaked in every bit of writing instruction I can from some amazing groups and individuals. And I\u2019ve spent countless hours sitting with my laptop pouring out words onto the screen. Writing is in my blood. It\u2019s my passion. A true gift from my Heavenly Father, and I pray daily that he uses the words for His purpose.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24206\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/This-Daring-Journey-Banner.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/This-Daring-Journey-Banner.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/This-Daring-Journey-Banner-150x56.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/amongTheReads.net\">Among the Reads<\/a>, April 4<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/Simpleharvestreads.com\">Simple Harvest Reads<\/a>, April 4 (Guest post from Mindy Houng)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/booksmusicandlife.blogspot.com\/\">The Power of Words<\/a>, April 5<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/Nannie3.blogspot.com\">Jeanette\u2019s Thoughts<\/a>, April 5<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ashleysbookshelf.blogspot.com\">Ashley\u2019s Bookshelf<\/a>, April 5<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.realworldbiblestudy.com\">Real World Bible Study<\/a>, April 6<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pausefortales.blogspot.com\">Pause for Tales<\/a>, April 6<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jegrace.webs.com\/apps\/blog\/show\/46574074-this-daring-journey-blog-tour-giveaway-by-misty-m-beller\">Christian Author, J.E.
