The book cover of Mountains of our Own by Delaney Kraemer.

Faith has dealt with epilepsy for a decade, and her friends have always been by her side. Her sense of fitting in, her talents, her purpose, and her relationships are fundamentals that Faith has never questioned. When she and her friends participate in the school play, unexpected events cause her to doubt herself. Will she find the courage to put her trust in Jesus and His plan?

Mountains of Our Own is extremely helpful in informing the world about what it is like to live with the extraordinary challenges of epilepsy. Through the protagonist, a teenage girl named Faith, we learn cognitively, emotionally, and viscerally—in remarkable detail—what it feels like to live with this difficult disease. While sometimes heartwrenching, the young adult novel is highly engaging and a wonderful story of friendship, acceptance, and love—with a beautiful teen-love story that blooms over time. It is an inspiring book and a stunning effort by an 18-year-old woman who battles epilepsy herself.”
