Celebrate Lit Blog Tour: Calm in the Mountain Storm by Misty M. Beller

Book: Calm in the Mountain Storm

Author: Misty M. Beller

Genre: Christian Historical Romance

Release date: September 13, 2022

This epic journey will test his strength and ability to protect his children—and they’re all he has left.

When Elise Lane and her brother set out as missionaries to the native tribes in the Rocky Mountains, she knew the work would be challenging. But nothing fully prepared her for the hardships, nor the joys of getting to know the people. And even more so when some of them decide to accept God’s grace. When they discover the entire village where they’ve been working has been massacred, the mysterious brave standing at the edge of the devastation appears to be part of the danger. Especially when Elise realizes he’s holding a baby she recognizes as the daughter of one of the women who now lies dead.

Gone far too long on a mission to return his son who’d been taken by an enemy war party, Goes Ahead is relieved to return home with the boy. Until they reach their village, and the death they find there ignites his fury. His wife has been killed, along with all their friends and neighbors. No one is left alive—except their infant daughter. It can’t be a coincidence that both his children have survived such evils. Now he must keep them alive and cross the mountains to return to his family, people who can help protect his family from further danger.

Traveling with an infant not yet four moons old—and no mother to feed her—is more than even Goes Ahead can overcome. Allowing the white strangers to accompany him seems the only choice since one in their party is already nursing a babe of her own. As winter closes in and the mountains prove treacherous beyond anything Goes Ahead can control, only a strength and love greater than his own can save his children—and the woman he’s come to love.

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

Calm in the Mountain Storm is the 9th book in the Call of the Rockies series by Misty M. Beller. I have not read all the books in this series, but I have read a few of them before this one. I do like to read Series books, although this series is great as a Standalone book. 

Elise Lane and her brother are missionaries in the Rocky Mountains to a Native Tribe. Being a missionary has challenges and hardships that they work through. Elise Is devasted to learn of that the entire Village she had been working in has been killed, a massacre. Elise is even more devasted when she realizes that there is a  Mysterious brave standing holding a baby and she realizes that the baby's mom is one of the deceased.  Goes Ahead is the Brave that had been gone for a while to go rescue his son. Goes Ahead is amazed that his 2 children are survivors of recent devasting events in their Tribe, but he also knows he has some choices to be made as he is now a single parent. He isn't very trusting of the missionaries at first, but he comes to trust them and even allows Lola to feed his daughter. Goes Ahead decides he wants to return to his family and the missionaries, including Elise, accompany him on the journey over the Mountain. Will Goes Ahead and his 2 children make it back to Family? Will there be a friendship or more between Elise and Goes Ahead? 

WOW, Misty M. Beller has written another GREAT book! I have become a fan of Misty M. Beller in the past few years and I am always excited to read her books. I was captivated by this storyline from the very first chapter. I really have a heart for the work of Missionaries, so Elise and her brother were a couple of my favorite characters. They had some difficult duties when the Village was found Massacred. Goes Ahead was gone for a while to bring his whole family together again, only to get back to discover his wife had been killed. The friendship and relationship between Elise and Goes Ahead were wonderful. I love how the author progresses their relationship slowly. I think this book was my favorite in the series so far!  I look forward to reading future books in this wonderful series. FANTASTIC BOOK!

Early Missionaries to the Rocky Mountain Native American Tribes  

One of the things I love about writing stories set in the 1830s Rocky Mountains is that Eastern civilization hadn’t yet touched the frontier. The only people who lived in or visited the Rockies during that were Native Americans and mountain men (usually trappers, but sometimes just explorers).

From that limited experience with white people, two of the native tribes realized they wanted to learn more about the white man’s God and his “Book of Heaven” (the Bible). In 1831, a delegation of four Native Americans—two Nez Perce and two Flathead—showed up in St. Louis, Missouri, asking for someone to come and teach their people about God.

Over the next several years, a number of people went west as missionaries, and this was the real-life inspiration for the heroine in Calm in the Mountain Storm. Though the characters in this story are fictional, the events certainly could have happened!

When Elise Lane heard that the Indians actually wanted to learn about God and simply needed someone to come tell them, she knew she had to answer that call. Of course, her brother Benjamin couldn’t let her go into that danger alone, so together, they set out on an expedition they knew would likely change them forever. Elise doesn’t have any idea exactly how much!

I pray you enjoy reading the story of Elise and Goes Ahead, the brave she meets who’s desperate for help getting his young children across the mountains. As with our hero and heroine in the story, I pray your faith is inspired!

Blessings!
