Beyond the Hills by Maressa Mortimer Blog Tour and Review #BEYONDTHEHILLS @vicarioush.ome<\/h1>\n

What happens when you go Beyond the Hills?
\n\"Beyond<\/p>\n

BLURB<\/h2>\n

Macia Durus, daughter of the well-known Brutus Durus AMP, works hard to achieve a life of honour and prestige in her beloved Elabi. When a so-called \u201cfriend\u201d challenges her priorities, Macia\u2019s confusion threatens her carefully constructed plans. And her decision to investigate a forbidden book could have serious consequences for Macia as well as her family, turning their lives upside down.<\/p>\n

\"Beyond<\/p>\n

MY REVIEW<\/h2>\n

I had to step out of my comfort zone for Beyond the Hills, since it is a Christian\/Dystopian type of book. That being said, the book was well-written and left you thinking. What if? Could you live in a strictly controlled society where emotions are frowned upon and faith of any kind was taboo? In some ways, things aren’t all that different in today’s society.<\/p>\n

Written for a target audience of young adults, it’s a good read for any age.<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE AUTHOR<\/h2>\n

\"Beyond
\nI grew up in the Netherlands and moved to England soon after finishing my teaching training college. Married to Pastor Richard Mortimer we live in a Cotswold village with our four children. I’m a homeschool mum, enjoying the time spent with the family, travelling, reading, and turning life into stories. I want to use my stories to show practical Christian living in a fallen world.<\/p>\n
