Our Life on “God’s Hill” by Wallace J. Owens is a powerful true story of faith, family, and resilience set against the rugged beauty of the Santa Cruz Mountains.

In the early 1970s, a young couple sets out on an extraordinary journey, leaving behind the comforts of city life to build a home from the ground up on a remote, undeveloped mountain known as “The Hill.” With little money but unwavering determination, they face relentless challenges such as harsh winters, isolation, dangerous terrain, and life threatening emergencies.

Through it all, moments of divine intervention, what the author calls “Godwinks,” guide and protect them. From near tragedies to miraculous survivals, every chapter reveals how faith, perseverance, and love can transform even the toughest circumstances into a life filled with purpose.

Spanning over 25 years, this heartfelt memoir is more than a story about building a home. It is about building a life, raising a family, and discovering the unseen hand of God in every step of the journey.
