Author Faith
Blum
takes readers from southern Illinois to the wilds of Montana in her novel “A
Mighty Fortress.” Her inspirational Western fiction sees farmers becoming
ranchers and lost souls being found. Set in the late 1870s, the story describes
the Western movement and its inherent dangers as seen through the eyes of
Joshua and Ruth Brookings, the youngest siblings of a close knit Christian
family.
As Joshua and Ruth travel west to their parents’ new
ranch, they encounter stagecoach robbers and desperation as the driver is
killed and they must flee for their lives on foot. As they fight to stay alive in
unfamiliar country and to make their way to civilization, the reader is part of
the journey. Pursued by the thief they outwitted, they need all of their faith
and skills to get through the ordeal.
