Life’s journey can take painful twists and turns, and our response can vary from faith to fear and everything in between. Whether we like it or not, it is in these times that we often discover our greatest weakness and enduring strength. I’m a planner, and as much as I’d love to know the end of a trial from the beginning, life just doesn’t work that way. But God’s promise is that He will be with us through our trials, and that He will work all things together for good for those who love Him. I am learning to trust Him in this.
It is my hope that as you lean on Him, you will discover resilient aspects about yourself that were yet unseen. And that, like Callie and Ben, you will find God’s beauty in the midst of the storm.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read Rocky Mountain Redemption. Please check out the first book in the Drake Brothers series, Rocky Mountain Match, and watch for the third book, Rocky Mountain Proposal, due out in May. I’d love to hear from you. Visit my website at pamelanissen.com.

QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION
Callie boldly faces her nemesis, Ben. Have you ever faced a situation expecting one thing, only to experience the opposite? If so, what was your response?
Ben bows to his strong pull of compassion and takes Callie in. Do you think he responded foolishly?
If you were Callie, how would you have responded to Ben’s kindness and gentle demeanor?
Aaron’s suspicion of Callie forces Ben to choose between his brother and a woman he knows little about. Have you ever made a difficult decision that could alienate someone you loved?
Ben’s brothers want only the best for him. How do they show they care?
Betrayal cuts Callie deep when she discovers the truth about her daughter. How would you have dealt with such a painful discovery?
In spite of her bold show of strength, Callie is very vulnerable and is yearning for love and safety. Have you ever found yourself fighting against the very thing you need? If so, what was your breaking point?
As the oldest brother, Ben feels a strong sense of responsibility for the wayward path Max had traveled. Do you feel that his responsibility is misplaced?
Callie wants to trust God as a forgiving and loving Father, but her own father had drilled a warped view of God being harsh into her head. Have you ever had to work beyond a distorted view of God to find the truth of his love?
Heartbreak has carved the noble, yet sometimes overbearing, need to control a situation into Ben’s soul. How does he finally release this to God?
