What others are saying about
Mountain Wild:
"Wow! ... I can feel the romance
and what I like most about this is the chemistry between Josiah and Emma. The type
of feeling where he is the husband, head of the family, and she is the wife, who
should love her husband. That mixture of blending today's independence of women with
the way of life in the past. That's always a difficult thing to blend, and you're
doing it wonderfully without lessening Emma's worth or Josiah's 'manliness'. Great
job and I can't wait to read the next chapter [2]." - Maria
"Good start... I liked it... seems like a wild world during the 1800s...
can't wait for the rest." - Aayus

What others are saying about
Mountain Wild:
"You're doing it again! You are writing another story that's got me
guessing and wondering. With most people, I'm afraid of what comes after the suspenseful
part, because they tend to let you down. Well, Judith/Sarah, you don't. The next
part is always as good as the one that came before it. I'm not a picky reader, and
I like almost everything I read. Yet, when I give a list of authors to friends, I
am quite choosy about what I recommend. I like to tell them about writing that sucks
you into the story and makes you forget you're not a part of it. Your writing does
that. I have begun recommending you to everyone, and I even have a link on a site
I created about how to build up your writing skills, under the heading 'Read a Lot.'
Thanks for giving us something to keep us inspired and to make us want to continue
with our own writing. In a world with so many books, I know that there's always room
for another great story." - Stephanie
"You always do this to me. I start getting sucked into the story then
I remember- oh no!!!- you only post once a month and I go ARGGGGGGGG.... I love this
story [Mountain Wild] already. Wish during the summer you'd post them more often.
But I understand the writing process may take a while. Keep on writing and keep on
posting though. Don't even think about stopping midway. lol. You are doing such a
great job with these stories. Anyone who is looking for an online read for Christian
romance I tell them about you... You certainly have a gift and this Mountain Wild...has
me on my toes. I mean yes we know it'll turn out good but still we don't know how
it will turn out that way or what turns then characters may have to take that lead
to cliffs and precipices before they can reach that happy ending. I know I'm gushing
but love your stories and love this story already. Keep up the great work."

"Thank you so much for all the work, thought and prayer that go into
making such beautiful stories. I think the thing I appreciate most, which seems to
be a golden thread that runs throughout each and every story, is the importance you
place on following the gentle leading of the Holy Spirit... Each one has spoken to
and encouraged me in a special way. In particular, AJ [Abigail's Journey] - I have
been called to work with people who have gone though similar things and are in positions
similar to Jake's - girls, though, not boys. Some of the ideas presented were VERY
helpful in a practical way, even though they might seem small (e.g. the baby monitor
- covered up)... Greatest [Greatest of These] - I, too, am considering an 'age-gap'
relationship. Although the gap is not quite as great, there are challenges and consequences
that I must face and deal with if I am to be able to make it work successfully. As
for MW [Mountain Wild], I was totally and completely there with them in the story,
when I suddenly realized, much to my frustration and consternation, I had reached
the end of the chapter :-)! I began to worry though, when I started to wonder that
if MW ends up having, say, 36 chapters, will it take 3 WHOLE LONG YEARS for us to
get the entire story?? Oh boy, that's a long time! But no matter, I'm so excited
to see how the Lord will lead you to weave this journey of two very obviously opposite
and different human souls, 'thrown' together by Providence, to become something beautiful."

"Yours are the most wonderful books...
they brim with optimism... you are simply the best." - Manu (India)
"I stumbled upon your website by accident
and got hooked. I have read all your stories so far and cannot wait the the 15th
of each month to arrive. They are awesome stories, I have copied the pdf form [of
the completed stories] for a friend of mine who don't have access to the Internet
and the stories had her in tears from beginning to start. Congratulations with a
good Christian based website." - Terisa (South Africa)
"I just finished reading the first chapter of Mountain Wild. It really
fits its name. I am intrigued. One can't help but wonder how you could perfectly
imagine the thoughtline of such a character. You really put the whole chapter in
such a way that one is eager to see the next events that will unfold. The beginning
is quite catchy. I will surely look out for the next chapter. Just praying that the
days come faster than usual." - Clara (Nigeria, West Africa)
"I just finished reading the first chapter [of Mountain Wild] and I
can't wait for the next. I have read all your stories which were so captivating but
I believe that Mountain Wild will be the best. I don't know how you choose your characters,
but I sure know you do a good job at it. I don't know where you are taking us to
this time but I know it [is] going to be a wonderful place that we have never been
before. Write on, I am waiting." - Pheobian (Port Harcourt, Nigeria)
"I love your new book Mountain Wild... I absolutely love the first two
chapters... normally I don't like historical romance but I love this one. I do hope
it is a long book... I'm now writing a book of my own... I just love your book I
look forward to the next chapter excitedly each day... thanks for the inspiration!!"
- Leah
"I've read all of your stories and love them. I hope you will have many
chapters to read in Mountain Wild. I have Blackfoot Indian in me so it's neat to
read about a man who is half Blackfoot ;)" - A Reader
"I've read everything on your site and can't wait to continue with installments
on Mountain Wild. In a word, your writing is compelling." - Megan
"I've read the first 2 chapters of Mountain Wild and was drawn in immediately.
I remember reading the first chapter and thinking this is definitely off the beaten
path for Sarah [plot spoilers removed]!! The life described is so different from
what we live today and yet so alike in all its struggles and issues. The story intrigues
and pulls you in and leaves you wanting to read more and more. I began reading Abigail's
story around the time Sarah was halfway through it, and I remember wondering later
whether people who had read the first chapter when it was put up had been drawn in
by it and whether they had wanted to come back and read more since I'm sure not one
of them had any inkling of the fantastic story that was about to unfold. Being here
for Mountain Wild since the beginning, I now know that they probably were."
- Esther (India)
"My favourite... is 'Mountain Wild'... I thought it was the best story
I've ever read... it['s] full of emotion, suspense and faith..." - A Reader
"I just happened to find your online novels, and have enjoyed them so
much. I have read them all, but I must say that 'Mountain Wild', is perhaps the most
captivating. I read the new chapters so quickly, and then start looking forward to
the next one, always checking a few days early, hoping to find it a little ahead
of the due time. It is nice when I do! Thank you for these clean, refreshing, and
entertaining Christian novels." - Pastor's Wife
"You're a miracle worker, Sarah!! [In chapter 5] I felt Emma's emotions
while she was begging for [plot spoiler removed] and was really glad she succeeded,
in spite of the fact I was determined NOT to like [Josiah] for the last few months!!
I'm gut-hooked as Abby would have said for the rest of the story, believe you me...
It's a wonderful story maybe as good as AJ, although I'm absolutely convinced Jake
will never be replaced as my all time favourite fictional character..." -
Myra (Western Canada)
"I love this book [Mountain Wild], please hurry with the next chapter..."
- Tara
"I love all your books. I'm an avid reader and it took me several hours
to read through all your posted stories. Now I keep going back to read excerpts from
[one] or another. I especially love the way you've worked scripture into all the
stories - God bless you for blessing others! ... Mountain Wild is really great. I
write you from Fiji, an island in the South Pacific where the highest elevation wouldn't
even go a quarter way up the 'Rockies' and the worst winter would be 14 degrees Celsius
(57 degrees Fahrenheit)- no snow! Its nice to 'escape' into your wilds! I can't wait
for January 15th!" - Tima (Fiji)
"I've read all of your stories (I have yet to fully read Greatest of
These), and I gotta say I love this new one [Mountain Wild]! I'm a newbie in American
History, and this story is quite a good resource for me to learn a bit about the
people and lifestyle at those past times... I especially loved the Christmas celebrations
you've described in the latest chapter [6], they seem so fitting! ... I happen to
like the female characters in your stories. They have a lot of backbone to endure
such difficult times (Emma in the wilderness, and Abby with Jake...sorry to bring
that one up, but I tend to find some similarities!). ... I hope to read more of this
wonderful story." - Daniella (Venezuela)
"You did [it] again! I'm excited of reading every chapter of Mountain
Wild and keep reading it until I memorize every line. Keep up the good work! I'm
here to support you all the way. Thanks for all the wonderful novels you made. May
God bless you all the time." - Bheng (Philippines)
"I have learned [of] this website from my officemate. The first novel
I have read was Journey of the Heart. I was touched and appreciate every Bible scriptures...
It made me closer to the Lord. From then on I started reading all your works. I love
Abigail and Jake, Charlie and Adam. And now, I can't wait for the new chapters of
Mountain Wild. God gave you a wonderful gift and you use it the way he wanted it
to be - to be an inspiration and touch the lives of others. Thank you and more power,
Ms. Sarah Fall." - Olivia (Philippines)
"I loved chapter 7 of Mountain Wild... really enjoyed chapter 6 too...
what I love the best about this story - it does not end once the 'I love you's' have
been said. In fact, that's when all the fun seems to begin. Your comment [on Judith's
Announcement List] about the lightening bolt made me smile, but that would be way
too predictable for you. And I love not knowing what you're going to put our way
next. I'm hanging onto every word. Can't wait to see how God works in that wild mountain
man's life. Sometimes it becomes difficult to remember I don't have to pray for his
salvation because he's not real :D Keep at it, and may the Lord's blessings continue
to chase after you in all you do." - Esther (India)
"I enjoy reading chapter seven [of Mountain Wild], it has touched something
in me... I am waiting anxiously for the next chapter. Your story [has] helped changed
my views over some issues. Keep up the good work." - Laroba
"Thank you for allowing people to view and read your books online. I
am a mother and wife and have very little time to read but as soon as I found your
site [I] have been eagerly awaiting my quiet moments in the evening when I can sit
down and read a chapter of your books. I am now working on the Mountain Wild book
and cannot wait until the next chapter is released..." - A Reader
"I am not a Christian but I can relate to the religious values in your
stories. I started out reading Mountain Wild and I love how Emma's faith and patience
help her thru life and her wild husband... I especially love Adam and Charlie [in
The Greatest of These] and I pray all marriages in the world could be like theirs.
When there is love and God in families, there will be love throughout the world."
