the quiet strength it takes to keep climbing. Set in the rugged beauty of the
Rockies, it tells the story of a mother who endures devastating loss and
finds, not answers, but presence—in the trees, the trails, and the God
who meets us in our pain.
This book is for anyone who has stood at the edge of heartbreak and wondered
if joy could still be real. Through lyrical storytelling and honest
reflection, My Mountains offers hope without platitudes and peace without
pretending. It reminds us that we’re not alone on the trail—and
that sometimes, the steepest paths lead to the most beautiful views.
Whether you are grieving, searching, or simply longing for beauty again, this
book will walk beside you—and leave you changed.
