Summary:
Ingrid Chastain travels with her father and two others to deliver important medicine to a mining town in Montana Territory. An accident changes the plan.
Micah Bradley lives in the wilderness of Montana Territory. He grieves the family he lost. He’d practiced as a physician before living in Montana.
Ingrid and Micah will meet at the right time but during a terrible situation.
My Thoughts:
I read Hope’s Highest Mountain during a period of reading other intense books. This book was a restful break, and this is why I loved it so much.
•Ingrid and Micah are solid characters. They are not silly or immature. They are believable. They are people who I can admire.
•I enjoyed reading about medical practices during this period. I especially learned about the Smallpox vaccine.
•The story has a good rhythm-a steady pace.
•It’s a simple story without several heavy themes running in it.
•The love story is not complex, but is a reflection of an enduring love.
