About the Book Beyond the Gray Mountains

Series: Big Sky Amish #1
Author: Tricia Goyer
Publisher: Sunrise Publishing
Release Date: February 28, 2023
Genre: Christian Contemporary Amish Romance

Marianna Sommer always dreamed of a simple Amish wedding, but there’s nothing simple about marrying rock star Ben Stone. She loves him—but what about her traditions? Worse, suddenly Ben has questions—the kind that have him putting their wedding on hold.

Ben loves Marianna, but he has regrets—and fears—that suddenly get in the way of his happy ending. He doubts he’s going to “hear from God” in the high mountains like Marianna’s father suggests. But sure, he’ll go…

But he might not return. Because high on the continental divide, trouble finds them. Now, it’ll take a miracle for Ben, Abe, and Abe’s brother, Ike, to make it down alive. Maybe Ben will hear from God after all…but if he does, can he become the man he needs to be to save them…and keep Marianna’s heart?

When a runaway horse with a bloody saddle shows up, not only is the media alerted, but Marianna fears she’ll lose them all—her uncle, her father, and her beloved Ben. Suddenly she doesn’t care what the wedding looks like…as long as Ben makes it home.

But is there more to Ben than she knows? And when she discovers his secrets, what sacrifices will she make to save…and marry…the man she loves?

Fall in love with the first book in the cherished Big Sky Amish Collection.

My Thoughts on Beyond the Gray Mountains

This is part of a series. It is the first book though, however, it takes up with characters from another book titled Beside Still Waters.  While you could read this book as a stand-alone book you will get a better picture if you read the other book first.   In this book, we get a closer look at Marianna.  Marianna left the Amish ways though all of the Amish ways haven’t left her.  She is in love with Ben and they’re going to be married. 

However, Ben has a past he can’t quite let go of.  When he’s thinking about his past and considering what that means for the future he goes off to the mountains with his future father-in-law and his brother.

Did I forget to mention Ben is a public figure?  He’s a rock star. 

Marianna can’t let go of her traditions and Ben can’t let go of his past but when tragedy finds them will things work out?   Or will Marianna lose Ben forever?

A great read I can’t recommend it enough.  And on a personal note, I’ve heard this author speak and met her at a homeschool conference and really loved her and her advice.  Happy to support her and have read all of her books!
