When the Mountain Crumbled: Volume 4

This is book four in A Day To Remember series where each book is a standalone about a disaster that changed history. I love knowledge and this is very informative about Turtle Mountain breaking loose and crashing down on Crowsnest Valley crushing everything in its path. It is a story of heartbreak and unimaginable loss but also one of hope and miraculous moments. Woven into the historical account and characters are fictional characters that have an impact as their story unfolds. It is all woven together flawlessly and draws you in. I loved Constable David Harty and how he wrote down every small account that gave him hope. Samantha was hard to get to know because of the hard shell she had around herself due to past circumstances but as the mountain crumbled so does her defenses and it is beautiful to witness her become the person God had intended. Two flawed characters thrown together as they care for three young children amid disaster and chaos will capture your heart. I could tell it was well researched and very creative writing with well developed characters has you turning pages quickly. Historical fiction lovers will especially want to read asap. I received a complimentary copy from CelebrateLit. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.

5 stars, Horrific Natural Disaster WHEN THE MOUNTAIN CRUMBLED (A DAY TO REMEMBER SERIES BOOK 4) by Angela K. Couch Canada, 1903 Samantha Ingles is a schoolteacher in the small town of Frank, the home of a coal mine. She lives with the family of several of her students. They are caught in a devastating landslide in their mountain town. Samantha hasn't been trained to deal with deadly natural disasters. She's stuck. Constable Nathan Stanford is a member of the North-West Mounted Police. He is awakened by a deep rumble. He wants to go investigate what it was. It sounded like it came from the west, possibly near where his brother works and lives with his family in Frank. These two people are thrown together and are trying to make sense of the horrific natural disaster that swallowed most of the town of Frank. Day to Remember is a series that is about historic disasters that affected a lot of people. Some of the disasters were manmade and some occurred naturally. Some you may have heard of, others you may not have. This series of six books brings them forward, so all who reads them can remember. I have been in historic mines, I would be terrified if a mountain I was in crumbled around me. The location of Frank is only an hour's drive from the author's home. Highly recommend.
