Getting Away from it All?
The Nordegren sisters, Jo, Ursula and Ilsa, have grown up in the late 1800s in the wilds of the Rocky Mountains. Their grandparents raised them in isolation scaring them with stories of sickness followed by death if they mix with the rest of the world. The sisters have adapted well to living off the land. Jo is a hunter and moves silently through the forest, while Ilsa has become an expert with medical treatments made from local ingredients. Ursula, the oldest, is in charge cooking and keeping house for all of them. Suddenly, their quiet world has been invaded by the Warden family along with cowboys, cattle and wonders from the outside world.
Though nervous, Jo welcomes them, but when sickness soon follows, Ursula declares either she, or the newcomers, must go. Can Jo give up the new family, especially since experiencing feelings she is unaccustomed with towards the Warden son? Will the sisters perish from diseases brought from the outside world? Or will the sisters be separated permanently because of hard feelings?
The author pulls us into a fast-moving story full of the incredible sights of the Rockies along with the Warden’s thrilling escape to the mountains. The sisters are a delight from the way they live, enjoy the nature all around them, to the things they discover about themselves and their family. Be ready for a rip-roaring good time, filled with danger, suspense and peril. This is all wrapped up in a clean story told from a Christian perspective. I highly recommend this first installment of the Brides of Hope Mountain. It will be enjoyed by all who like adventure with a touch of romance.
