Wow... as I'm sitting here after turning that last page just a moment or two ago it's hard to put my thoughts into words. The emotion of When The Mountain Crumbled is as enormous as the mountain that fell. The loss and grief standing in opposition to the miracles of survival simply tugs at the heart.
I had never heard of the Frank Slide prior to reading this fourth A Day To Remember novel but I have found the tragic and inspiring story to be quite fascinating. And to look at photos of before, just after, and now, is still a bit difficult to wrap your head around.
3 decades ago my family lived through disaster that struck our town, losing our home and most of our possessions. Like the people of Frank some were removed before the disaster hit and some, like my family, had to go through it. So that question of why some and not others is one that I understand. Angela K. Couch made her story even better and realistic by the inclusion of that personal struggle for her characters as she acknowledges those unanswered questions.
Anyway, Angela K. Couch has a pretty good story with When The Mountain Crumbled. Her characters are quite human as there are moments when you positively dislike them and others when you just want to give them a hug. So prepare to need a tissue or two and dive into this standalone book in the A Day To Remember historical series that is based on true events across the years....
(I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are entirely my own.)

This fourth book in Barbour Publishing's A Day to Remember series is just as wonderful as its predecessors. Each book tells an account of fictional characters set within the very real events of a North American disaster. The books are well-researched and closely based on actual occurrences. When the Mountain Crumbled is set beginning in April of 1903 in the Crowsnest Valley in Alberta, Canada. It was around 4:10 a.m. on the 29th of the month when millions of tons of limestone broke off from the side of Turtle Mountain and crashed into the town of Frank, killing more than seventy people. Couch based her characters' experiences on those of real-life people residing in Frank at that time. Samantha, her main character, is a schoolteacher who assumes the care of three sisters after the death of their parents and brothers, eventually sharing the responsibility with the girls' Uncle Nathan, a mounted police officer. The schoolmarm and the Mountie rarely agree on what is best for the girls which leads to a growing sense of tension.
Couch treats the victims of this natural disaster with respect and sensitivity as she develops a story that reveals the impact one's past may have on the lens through which they view the present, and also explores the presence of God in the midst of disaster. I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy of When the Mountain Crumbled from Barbour Publishing via NetGalley without obligation, and feel comfortable recommending it to other fans of historical fiction. All opinions expressed here are my own.

Horrific Natural Disaster
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.
