View Most Glorious (American Wonders Collection) by Regina Scott
I have read the other 2 books in this American Wonders Collection and have absolutely loved them! The author does a wonderful job describing the scenery which is just as majestic and beautiful as the covers of these books.
This story follows Coraline and her hiking adventure to raise awareness for her women’s group. Her stepfather was determined to find her a proper guide so she could be successful in her hike and not have to marry the man Coraline’s mother picked for her.
As Coraline and her guide Nathan start their wilderness hike; they both discover they are both determined, kind, hard working and of good character. Full of faith and perseverance they both turn to God during their adventure and to each other. The characters and setting of this book were enjoyable to read. Highly recommend this historical fiction book and series. They can be read as stand alone books.
I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
About the Book:
Reluctant socialite Coraline Baxter longs to live a life of significance and leave her mark on the world. When her local suffragette group asks her to climb Mount Rainier to raise awareness of their cause, she jumps at the chance, even though she has absolutely no climbing experience. If she can do it, any woman can do it. And after her mother issues an ultimatum–that Cora marry the man of her mother’s choosing if she is not successful–Cora must do it. But she can’t do it alone.
Noted mountain guide Nathan Hardee initially refuses to help Cora, but has a change of heart when he sees what is at stake. He knows enough about the man Cora’s mother has chosen to know that the headstrong young woman should have nothing to do with him, much less marry him.
Climbing Rainier will require all of Cora’s fortitude and will lead her and Nathan to rediscover their faith in God and humanity. These two loners make unlikely partners in righting a wrong and may just discover that only together is the view most glorious.
