When Mountains Move

Description

New York Times bestseller Cantrell's emotive storytelling shines in this tale of new beginnings, past secrets, and finding a way forward. Millie's mind is racing and there seems to be no clear line between right and wrong. Either path leads to pain, and she'll do anything to protect the ones she loves. So she decides to bury the truth and begin again, helping Bump launch a ranch in the wilds of Colorado. But just when she thinks she's left her old Mississippi life behind, the facts surface in the most challenging way. That's when Millie's grandmother, Oka, arrives to help. Relying on her age-old Choctaw traditions, Oka teaches Millie the power of second chances. Millie resists, believing redemption is about as likely as moving mountains. But Oka stands strong, modeling forgiveness as the only true path to freedom. Together, Bump, Millie, and Oka fight against all odds to create a sustainable ranch, all while learning that the important lessons of their pasts can be used to build a beautiful future. Praise for When Mountains Move: "Julie Cantrell's When Mountains Move is a classic American novel of risk-taking, struggle, renewal, and redemption. This book took my breath away.

Julie Cantrell is an award-winning New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, teacher, and speaker. Her work has received special recognition across both faith-based and general audiences as she aims to build a bridge of communication and understanding between the two.

'Cantrell set the bar high with Into the Free, which won the Christian Fiction Christy Awards Book of the Year. The narration of her follow-up is less lyrical, but the plotting is assured, and supporting characters Oka and Fortner ring fascinating and true, even as Kat seems less convincing. Millie's voice remains the center of new emotional dynamics, and it will linger with readers after they close the book. ' * Publishers Weekly * 3 stars. 'Fans of Cantrell's previous work will enjoy the continuation of Millie Reynolds' story. The author does a good job at visually recreating the work involved in establishing a horse ranch in the Colorado Rockies. However, this feels more like the late 1800s than 1943 and, in order to fully understand the characters, it would be best to read Cantrell's previous book first.' * RT Book Reviews *
