Author: Angela K Couch
Genre: Historical Christian Fiction
Release date: September, 2024
Though Mountains Crumble, Hope Is Not Buried
Enjoy a series of 6 exciting novels featuring historic disasters that transformed landscapes and multiple lives. Whether by nature or by man, these disasters changed history and were a day to be remembered.
Discipline and rules are the foundation on which Samantha Ingles has built her life—the life of a spinster schoolteacher in a small mining town in the Canadian Rockies. All that crumbles from her grasp when part of a mountain crashes down on their community.
Constable David Harty has little patience for the strict schoolmarm but has no choice but to leave his three young nieces in her care while he tries to discover the fate of his brother. Already, the girls have lost their mother and brothers to the landslide and require comfort and love while they await the fate of their father, possibly buried in the coal mine.
With the mountain looming over their heads threatening more lives, and the town scrambling to save who they can from the rubble, can hearts find healing—both for their own sakes and the children in their care?

About the Author
To keep from freezing in the great white north, Angela K Couch cuddles under quilts with her laptop. Winning short story contests, being a semi-finalist in ACFW’s Genesis Contest, and a finalist in the 2016 International Digital Awards also helped warm her up. As a passionate believer in Christ, her faith permeates the stories she tells. Her martial arts training, experience with horses, and appreciation for good romance sneak in as well. When not writing, she stays fit (and toasty warm) by chasing after five munchkins.My Thoughts
I have been enjoying the "A Day to Remember" series. This is book 4; each is a stand-alone.
We all know about days to remember; days when massive numbers of lives were lost: Pearl Harbor; 9/11. But there are lesser known or remembered days. This series bring them to our attention.
When the Mountain Crumbled is well researched and well written. Instead of focusing so much on the actual event, it focuses on the aftermath, and the miraculous, and a sweet slow-burn story of love and faith.
If you enjoy a story of history, faith, and a little romance, you won't want to miss this story. Be sure to grab your own copy.
I received a complimentary copy through Celebrate Lit and these opinions are my own.
More from Angela
Around 4:10 am on April 29th, 1903, approximately 110 million metric tonnes of limestone broke from the side of Turtle Mountain and crashed down into the Crowsnest Valley, burying ranches, camps, an active coal mine, and a part of the town of Frank. What has come to be known as “Frank Slide” was the deadliest landslide in North American recorded history, claiming the lives of more than seventy people.
I first visited Frank Slide as a child, as it is located only an hour’s drive from my home. All I remember from that experience was the heaps of rocks and boulders, and the story of the mine-horse named Charlie. When driving through the Crowsnest Pass as an adult, I began to appreciate the terror of that night and the horrible loss of life. Not until expanding my research while writing this story, did the miracles of Frank shine through everything horrible that happened. That became the focus of my story, When the Mountain Crumbled.
I find our own lives follow a similar pattern. Tragedy, hardship, sickness and disappointment… but do we see the miracles?
