The Real Summit: A Cedar Cross Ranch Story - Book 3

By Lydia Hartwell

Even the tallest mountain can't hide the truth forever.

Charlie Aldridge has always felt like the girl no one notices-ordinary clothes, ordinary life, nothing special. But when her parents surprise her with a week at Cedar Cross Ranch, Charlie sees a chance to rewrite her story. Hiking trails, cozy cabins, and new friends in the beautiful Poconos-it sounds like the adventure she's been dreaming of.

Determined to fit in with her cabin mates, Charlie starts spinning tales about her talents and travels. At first, the lies seem harmless-until they lead her down a dangerous path during the camp's biggest challenge: Summit Day. A sudden storm, a wrong turn, and a wild encounter put everything at risk. Now Charlie must face the truth before it's too late.

Along the way, she discovers that real courage isn't about being dazzling or daring-it's about honesty, grace, and trusting God when life feels steep and rocky.

The Real Summit is a heartfelt Cedar Cross Ranch adventure for girls aged 8-13 who love friendship, faith, and stories filled with hope.
