When the Mountains Sing by Stacy Monson – Review

September 2, 2019 by Suzie Waltner Leave a Comment

This is the first book in The Mosaic Collection. Readers can look forward to a new book each month from a different author for the next year. What a great way to meet some new authors and spend time with familiar ones.

About the Book

When the truth cost her everything, she thought there was nothing left to lose.

Mikayla Gordon loves nothing more than sleeping under the stars, reeling in the “big one,” and long hikes in the wilderness. A medical crisis reveals a 30-year-old secret that turns everything she’s known and believed upside down, unraveling her dreams and her identity.

In search of answers, she follows a trail from Minnesota to Colorado and discovers more unwelcome secrets even as she falls in love with the majestic beauty of the Rocky Mountains, and a wilderness camp leader who shares the greatest secret of all.

Knowing her life can never go back to what it was, she must make decisions that will impact far more than just her future.

In My Opinion

This is one book I wavered on. There are some things I really enjoyed about it and others that just didn’t work for me.
 
The beginning of this book drags a little bit. I can’t help but wonder if the first quarter of the book was delivered in later chapters as backstory would have had more impact. Maybe starting with Makayla’s journey to seek the truth would keep the reader wondering why she wasn’t answering calls or texts from her family. What had sent her on that journey? And her reaction to her mother wouldn’t have been so abrupt if we’ve gotten to know her heart, her fears, and her disappointments a little more.
 
That said, Stacy Monson paints settings that made me want to visit the mountains of Colorado again. I thoroughly appreciated the relationships Makalya has with her sisters even when their world is turned upside down. And Makayla’s search for her identity and subsequent faith journey are natural and believable.
 
I also would like to find out what Maggie and Lindy’s own searches for truth would reveal.
