(A Day to Remember Book 4)
The author pens a gripping account of the tragedy of April 29, 1903 in the Canadian Rockies when the town of Frank was buried in a rockslide. Most of the characters were based on real people and the author imagined what their lives were like. The hero was Nathan, a Royal North West Mounted Police officer who came to town to search for his brother and family. But he finds that only his three nieces have survived. Samantha, the teache who boarded with them is asked to help care for the girls.
The story realistically tells of the practical and emotional hardships encountered during the aftermath of the incident. After questioning how such a thing could have happened, Nathan begins to write the miracles in a notebook, showing that God provided protection and provision. With the three little girls being separated and sent to live with different brothers, Nathan seeks a solution to reunite them. But there are hurts to overcome and spiritual growth to be accomplished.
