When the Avalanche Roared by Lauralee Bliss

Praise for When the Avalanche Roared I thoroughly enjoyed reading When the Avalanche Roared by Lauralee Bliss and the adventures of a feisty heroine and a courageous hero who find romance during a tragedy that shook the Cascade Mountains. I recommended it for your 2025 book list. –Rita Gerlach, author of Mercy's Refuge and other historical novels In her latest novel, talented author Lauralee Bliss compels her characters to wrestle with the age-old question of how we trust God during a deadly catastrophe. With their differences in social standing, education, and depth of faith, the seemingly mismatched hero and heroine face tremendous odds when tragedy strikes. Their realistic emotional and spiritual journeys pulled me into the story so that I was happy-sad to reach the end. –Johnnie Alexander, best-selling, award-winning author of Where Treasure Hides and The Cryptographer’s Dilemma Lauralee Bliss paints with both broad strokes and fine detail the historical tragedy of the Wellington Avalanche of 1910. As readers get acquainted with the victims and heroes, they see a portrait of both the frailty of human existence and the providence of God. When the Avalanche Roared is an admirable and meaningful work of art. –Rhonda Dragomir, author of When the Flames Ravaged
