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.

I think "Faith in the Mountain Valley" by Misty M. Beller is my favorite of the series. It is the fifth in the series. I am glad I have read the previous book but I believe a reader could enjoy this book as a standalone, but I really encourage readers to read the entire series as all the books feature the same characters, each book tells one character's tale in detail. The author's writing has a reader seeing the scenes played as they are reading the words.
"Faith In The Mountain Valley " is the story of French's rescue of his only love who he has been looking for eleven years.
I read this book as fast as I could because I wanted to see if Colette's secret was found out and if she had a happy ending! The ending certainly was different than I was expecting!
This novel is a tale of doing what you think is right to protect someone else but then realizing that you need to ask God to go before you and trusting Him instead of your own instincts.
I received a complimentary copy from the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are my own.

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!
