Dear Readers,
**If you have not read Into the Free by Julie Cantrell, you will want to read that first. This review will contain spoilers if you haven't read that one.
I am going to first say when I heard that Julie had continued Millie's story in a second book, I was a bit disappointed as I didn't feel there was a reason to. I was so very wrong, this was a beautiful continuation of the story.
When Mountains Move picks up the storyline 6 weeks after the event in the church steeple. Millie has agreed to marry Bump and that day is what starts this story. A beautiful day that starts their life together in a wonderful way and with several happy surprises.
Colorado is waiting and Millie and Bump head to their new ranch with all the hopes and dreams of a new couple ready to take on the world. Now, Millie has a bit of baggage that is going with her, as we all know, and she has to decide what to do with it, tell Bump or keep it a secret. She decides he doesn't need to know as she is afraid that he will not love her any more and her dream of a real family will disappear with him.
Once again you will find yourself cheering for Millie as she deals with what life hands her. Sometimes it is a wonderful thing, like a new friend, and sometimes it is something not as beautiful. I am not going to share it here as it gives some of the storyline away. But this is a story of forgiveness, but also one of trust. Trusting herself, trusting Bump, trusting God.
Julie's writing style draws you into the story so very quickly. I can't wait to read what she comes up with next. I read this one while on vacation in about 24 hours. I started late on Saturday night and finished Monday morning. I didn't want it to end and yet I couldn't lay it down. If you have read the first one, you will want to read this one and once again disappear into Millie's story.
Happy Reading.
