Hope's Highest Mountain by Misty M. Beller

Ingrid Chastain readily agreed to accompany her father to deliver vaccines to a mining town in the Montana Territory. She never could have anticipated a terrible accident would leave her alone and badly injured in the wilderness. When rescue comes in the form of a mysterious mountain man who tends her injuries, she's hesitant to put her trust in this quiet man who seems to have his own wounds.

Micah Bradley left his work as a doctor after unintentionally bringing home the smallpox disease that killed his wife and daughter. But his self-imposed solitude in the wilds of Montana is broken when he finds Ingrid in desperate need of medical attention, and he's forced to face his regret and call on his doctoring skills once again.

Micah can't help but admire Ingrid's tenacious determination despite the severity of her injuries, until he learns the crate she brought contains smallpox vaccines to help quell a nearby outbreak. With Ingrid dead set on trekking through the mountains to deliver the medicine--with or without his help--he has no choice but to accompany her. As they set off through the treacherous, snow-covered Rocky Mountains against all odds, the journey ahead will change their lives more than they could have known.  

Ingrid is left alone with a broken leg and rib in the mountains of Montana after an accident that killed her father.   They were on there way to deliver small pox vaccines to a settlement.  Micah is running from life and God.  He finds her and takes her to his hut.  She begs him to help her take the vaccines to the settlement.  After finally agreeing, he rigs up a sled to pull her on since she can't walk.  They go through all kinds of difficulties getting to the their destination. I encourage you to read the book.

I was given this book by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.   I was not compensated in any way.
