Though Mountains Fall


Though Mountains Fall by Dale Cramer

Published by Bethany House Publishers

Though Mountains Fall is the 3rd in the Daughters of Caleb Bender series. I hope it's not the last!

Though Mountains Fall is the continuing story of an Amish community who pulled up all roots from Ohio, and moved to a drastically different environment in Paradise Valley, Mexico.

Caleb Bender and his family were the first pioneers in Paradise Valley, and through this series, I have followed the stories of his daughters, Emma, Miriam, and Rachel as they grow and develop in their romances with and marriages to their beaus. This story focuses mainly on Miriam's decision to accept Domingo - a Catholic Mexican man's - proposal of marriage.

Domingo has worked for Caleb for over a year, and has proven himself trustworthy and loyal, as well as a stable, loving man to Miriam. But if Miriam is serious about marrying him, she is sure to be shunned, and will lose the other relationships she hold so dear, the ones with her family.

As Miriam and Domingo make the biggest decision of their lives, Rachel declares to her sister, " No matter what, we'll always be sisters".

Will this statement be challenged in the trying times ahead?

And what about the army sent to help protect the Amish community from the bandits? Are they a blessing or a curse?

This book is an enjoyable 3rd edition to what I hope will be a continuing saga of Caleb Bender's daughters. I've thouroughly enjoyed reading Dale Cramer's Amish Fiction, and can't wait to read another of his books in the future, hopefully soon!

PS. This book was provided to me free of charge from Bethany House Publishers in exchange for my written review of the book.
