Introduction

It is the spring of 1943. With a wedding and a cross-country move, Millie’s world is about to change forever.
 
If only her past could change with it.
 
Soon after the break of day, Bump will become Millie’s husband. And then, if all goes as planned, they will leave the rain-soaked fields of Mississippi and head for the wilds of the Colorado Rockies. As Millie tries to forget a dark secret, she hasn’t yet realized how drastically those past experiences will impact the coming days.
For most of Millie’s life, being free felt about as unlikely as the mountains moving. But she’s about to discover that sometimes in life, we are given second chances, and that the only thing bigger than her past … is her future.

Notes From the Author to the Bookclub

 From the New York Times best-selling author of Into the Free comes a novel of dark secrets, deep hope and second chances. But for Millie to ever truly feel free, she must first decide what to leave in her past and what to carry with her.

When Mountains Move – Julie Cantrell’s highly anticipated sequel to Into the Free – is a novel of dark secrets, deep hope and second chances. For Millie, being truly free feels about as impossible as the mountains moving. But she’s about to discover the one thing bigger than her past ... is her future.

"Millie’s voice remains the center of new emotional dynamics, and it will linger with readers after they close the book."

- Publishers Weekly

“Cantrell is a wise and beautiful storyteller . . . a grace-filled journey toward truth and freedom.”

- Beth Webb Hart, bestselling author of Moon Over Edisto

“ . . . a journey into the western frontier, young marriage, and unresolved pasts, but above all, it’s a journey into the human spirit.”

- Michael Morris, author of Man in the Blue Moon, Slow Way Home, and A Place Called Wiregrass
