Review of The Gold in These Hills by Joanne Bischof

A split-time history and love story!


Juniper (June) Cohen is a loving mother, friend, and wife, who has found herself in a very challenging situation. Her husband has disappeared and she continues to wait for him while living in the now almost abandoned town of Kenworthy. When she discovers he may not be the man she has always believed him to be, she must decide the best way to move forward.


Johnny Sutherland’s (present day) wife has not only abandoned their marriage, she is for sure not willing to reconcile. Determined to parent well and provide a safe and loving environment for their two small children, general contractor (check this) Johnny purchases a 100-year old farmhouse in the former boomtown. When he discovers writings and information from Juniper’s life, he is moved by how they connect to his own.


The author utilizes story, letters, and several strong characters to paint a wonderful message of redemption and forgiveness. The cultural impact and setting are wonderful to read about and I very strongly recommend this book (and author)!


I was provided a complimentary copy of this book from Thomas Nelson Publishers and NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
