"With Montana Morning, Sharon Flesch generates a different type of romance novel," says reviewer and physician Clint Pearson. "Conflict is created not by evil, one dimensional characters or by far-fetched misunderstandings but by tragic circumstances and the emotional scars that result. Throughout the work, the interactions between good people and their struggles are its focus."

Montana Morning, unlike off the shelf romance novels, deals with the lives of middle age lovebirds Jack and Adrianna. Jack is a ruggedly handsome rancher with a "lopsided grin" while Adrianna, "Addy" for short, is a widow who comes to care for Jack’s grandson and extended family.

Jim Hunter, Pastor and Director of Pathwalkers Ministries, Rocky Mountain Bible Mission, writes "This is an inspiring story with a message for average folks, living through real troubles, by faith in a wonderful God, who never leaves nor forsakes us. It's written in a style which is simple, straight forward, realistic and country. Sharon Flesch has put practical faith in Jesus Christ on a shelf low enough for all of us to reach when inevitable trials come our way.".

Maura Sullivan never intended to set foot in Granger, Ohio, again. But when circumstances force her to return, she must face all the disappointments she tried so hard to leave behind: a husband who ignored her, a congregation she couldn’t please, and a God who took away everything she ever loved.

Nick Shepherd thought he had put the past behind him, until the day his estranged wife walked back into town. Intending only to help Maura through her crisis of faith, Nick finds his feelings for her never died. Now, he must admit the mistakes he made, how he hurt his wife, and find a way to give and receive forgiveness.

 
As God works in both of their lives, Nick and Maura start to believe they can repair their broken relationship and reunite as man and wife. But Maura has one more secret to tell Nick before they can move forward. It’s what ultimately drove her to leave him six years earlier, and the one thing that can destroy the fragile trust they’ve built.
