What if the one secret you were holding was the one thing holding you back from a life of complete freedom?

Arianna, a sixteen-year-old from Uganda, is on the run. Who and what she is running from, she doesn't want to tell. She's learned, over the past eight years, not to trust Americans. But when an injury forces her onto the mercy of Allison Whitlock, who finds Arianna in her shed one cold, southeast Oklahoma winter morning, she begins to see that some people are worth her trust.

That is, until Allie's best friend comes along, pushing Arianna to make a decision that could not only destroy her only hope at freedom, but that could take her life.

Allie has her own secret, a secret that is slowly eating away at her conscience. What the authorities believe about the car accident that killed her husband and one of her sons five years ago may not be the complete truth. But the one person who knows the truth, her older son Jared, ran away four and a half years ago and has not been heard from since. The secret begins to burn even hotter when Jeb Mitchell, the man accused of causing the accident, returns from his time in prison and shows up at Allie's door.

Allie wants to make things right with her neighbor and former friend, whose wife was also killed in the accident. But she doesn't believe it's her place, since she wasn't at the scene. And so, the secret continues taking its toll. A girl and a woman, each holding tightly to a secret that binds them. Forgiveness and trust are the first steps toward freedom, but they need a miracle to push them all the way.
**********
At once heart-warming and suspenseful, this first book in the "Pine Mountain Estates" series by Emily Josephine is a full-length Christian women's fiction novel.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Assuming she's still alive when you read this, Emily Josephine lives somewhere on Planet Earth with a couple of people she refers to as "family" when she's in a good mood, writing stories with characters who lead much more interesting lives than she does, with an eye toward entertaining readers as well as encouraging them to grow into the person God created them to be, and in so doing endeavoring to kick the habit of writing run-on sentences; however, she sometimes waxes Charles Dickens-ish and is at such times unable to help herself - and speaking of famous people, if you look for "Emily Josephine" on any social media site or on YouTube, you will find more than one person going by that gorgeous name, but it will not be THE Emily Josephine, the author about whom you are now reading, because Emily Josephine The Author is severely and deathly allergic to both social media and YouTube, and if anyone tries to assert the proposition that such an allergy is an absolute and certain impossibility, she will stoutly deny their denial, "stout" being an absolute and certain absurdity in this context as there has never been anything stout about Emily except for the blessedly brief period of her life when she was pregnant and a mommy to a newborn baby.

I got this book for free, and so my expectations were low. Frequently, books that are free…well no one would pay to read them. This was SO good. It was well written. I liked the characters. They had depth. I liked that faith was interwoven, but it wasn’t preachy. I’m now going to buy the second book in the series. I would highly recommend this book and this author.

It is difficult to find Christian novels that are well written, meaty with a real message, this book has all and more. Each character is believable with a life of their own, no fluff, no cookie cutter characters and a storyline that makes the reader sorry the book has ended. Highly recommended.

I was drawn into this story almost immediately. It was a wonderful, true to life storyline that I could easily read in the small spurts I had between Mommy-ing. I have found that a story without God in it is just downright missing something so this was a refreshing read. I love the way Emily wove newfound faithfulness into her characters and I just bought the rest of the series so I can see what happens to each one.

I gave this book 3 stars instead of 5 because even though it was a pretty good book it was kinda boring. I did like all the characters except for Mr. Brent. Allie was a blessing. I loved her. I liked Jeb also. I was mad at Jared and his antics. Arianna was a sweet girl and although some stuff she did got on my nerves I’m going to chalk it up to her circumstances. I loved the ending. I was happy for all the African children. i was sad when Belle passed. I hope Liz decide to foster one or two of the African children. She needs some love in her life. I probably won’t read the rest of the books but maybe later on in the year I will read the one about Darla. I would love to know what her outcome ended up being. I hope Jeb & Allie get together and get married.

I would suggest this book but just know it’s kinda slow.

5.0 out of 5 stars This one rocked me!
Reviewed in Canada on September 7, 2019

I read a lot and often accept free books when offered. Some are worth the price, others I close with a satisfied sigh. Pine Mountain Secrets is one that soared—straight to my soul. The plot is explained well in the blurb (above), so I won’t repeat it. But Arianna and Allie won my heart from the beginning, each holding onto secrets that kept them bound, solitary in their shadowy fears.
The author skillfully inserted hints of the truth through the story, like doors opened one per day on an Advent calendar. Some I guessed as the story progressed, but deeper ones shocked me. As the truth became clear, my heart broke. Because while Pine Mountain Secrets is fiction, its basis is real. Horribly real. Isaiah 58:6-7 has been tugging on my soul lately; perhaps that’s why this story affected me so deeply.
I challenge every Christian to read this story and consider what the truth requires. Pine Mountain Secrets will remain in my mind and heart for a long time; it easily earns five stars. Highly recommended!

I read this book with my daughter, who is 12. She often asked for, “Just one more chapter!” (It ended up being more like 3 more chapters.) “Very intense and exciting,” is my daughter’s description. The story line pulled us in and the characters feel like friends. We are looking forward to reading the next books in the series.

I really enjoyed this book. It had a good story line and the way each chapter was 'spoken' by one of the characters it made it more personal. There's opportunity to guess what will happen later as the story unfolds.
