 MY THOUGHTS:         I truly enjoyed this book!! The author paints a vivid picture of the demands of traveling in the less traveled lands. This story grabs you from the first page as characters are introduced and you become fast friends. Noelle may look small and delicate but can hold her own with the best of the seasoned travelers. I loved how Daniel and Noelle quickly learned to be quick in making decisions, making do with what they had or didn't have. They not only learned how unpredictable the severe weather was but found if they were to survive they needed to work together. A horrible accident leaves Noelle figuring out what to do, how far to travel and even providing food for the mountain man. And maybe, just maybe a romance might be blossoming between the two. Blessings, Karen Rating: 5* I received this book as a gift and all opinions are my own. About the Book Book Title:  This Courageous Journey Author:  Misty Beller Genre:  Christian Historical Roma
