Beyond the Valley (Valley Series, Book 3) by Bonnie Leon

Beyond the Valley (Valley Series Book 3)
ABOUT THE BOOK

In a land untamed, only faith can light the way.

Emmalin Hammond and Jacob Landon begin their new life together as husband and wife, settling into Jacob’s log cabin north of Deer Creek in the rugged Oregon Territory in the spring of 1857. With Emmalin’s adopted daughter by their side, they embrace the hardships of pioneer life, ready to face the wilderness and build a future from the ground up.

But as they navigate the trials of marriage and frontier survival, a threat far more dangerous than wild animals or harsh weather emerges—a man from Jacob’s past, driven by vengeance and determined to destroy everything they've built. When violence reaches their doorstep, Emmalin and Jacob must lean on a steadfast faith to confront the danger head-on.

As the threat escalates, their love, their land, and even the life of their child hang in the balance. Will the storm shatter their fragile new beginning—or shape them for a greater purpose only God can see?





MY THOUGHTS.....

This is the third book of a series, but author Bonnie Leon helps new readers by highlighting tidbits from the other books in the first few chapters of Beyond the Valley. It's now 1857, and Emmalin Hammond has just become a wife and a mother to an adopted daughter in the Oregon Wilderness. She may seem unprepared for the hardships, but Emmalin is gutsy and determined to make a home for Jacob and Annie.

Leon's descriptive talents have never been better! I could see the beautiful Oregon landscape, feel the bitter cold, and hear the mournful howls of the wolves. The multifaceted characters and historical details are woven into an intriguing tale of fear, pain, and loss. but hope and joy are still present. Sweet romance, inspiring faith, and an undying pioneer spirit make this a journey worth traveling. Beyond the Valley is a wonderful conclusion to The Valley historical series!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions expressed are mine alone.


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
