Finally. After two years, Though Mountains Fall, the long-awaited conclusion to Dale Cramer's unique Amish trilogy, is here. Having reached its bittersweet final pages, it is hard to imagine that any reader who has been with the series since the first book will be disappointed. Seasoned Dale Cramer readers will not be surprised to discover a spectrum of colorful, complex, multidimensional characters. Deeply human and impossible not to care about, they struggle to balance their Amish convictions with the harsh demands of life in the turbulent Mexico of the 1920s as well as with the demands of their own hearts and of God.Leading his characters through one life-and-death encounter after another, Cramer somehow manages to find room for romance, too. It's a rare man who can write the slow unfolding of intensely romantic relationships in a way that can touch a woman's heart, engage a man's spirit, and never stray beyond the bounds of propriety. You have to wonder if, somewhere, Jane Austen is taking notes.Thoroughly researched history brings rich textures to this fictionalized treatment of Cramer's Amish ancestors' emigration from Ohio to Mexico in search of religious freedom. From Paradise Valley through The Captive Heart to the culmination of Though Mountains Fall, the main story arc never falters, while the lesser story lines and minor characters blend seamlessly into the whole, presenting a panoramic view of humanity in the grip of grace. It is impossible to come away untouched, unchallenged, unchanged.If you are thinking of picking up this book as your first introduction to Dale Cramer's Amish trilogy, let me caution you to think twice.
