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 a brother 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 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 there, as well. When not writing, she stays fit (and warm) by chasing after four munchkins.

My Review
This is such a good read, and when you read the author's notes you find out how real this story is.
The mountain comes down and so many are killed, but why do some survive?
This is a story of survival, and finding your way back to a life with everything, and for some everyone, gone.
A teacher boarding with a family, and then the unthinkable, and the author does such a great job bringing this terrible disaster alive.
We do follow the Hartly family survivors, and Samantha right to the end of the book, and see how they are able to make a path, and a life, but the journey there not easy. This is a page turner, filled with emotions!
I love the list of miracles, and they add to it!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Barbour, and was not required to give a positive review.
