Summary: Heartwarming Book
Review: Another great addition to the Shiloh Legacy Series. This book was especially fulfilling as it ties many of the characters together and also ties up some "loose ends" from the first two books. There is just the right amount of humor to counteract the many serious issues dealt with in this book. Many of the chapters bring on laughter, while others bring on the tears.The only thing that I did not particularly enjoy was the "mob" aspect of the book. Yet, it was realistic to the history of New York and necessary to the plot. In addition, the New York City meets Shiloh aspect is one of the funniest things about this book. The Thoene's characters are real and often not as predictible as many other historical fiction series. They are not perfect by any means, yet many are great examples of faith in adversity.

Summary: Excellent book by excellent authors
Review: I love books by the Thoenes, but any book from this series ranks right at the top of the list. *Say to this Mountain* is real. It deals with what was reality in America in 1930. Doctors forced to imagine illnesses in employees of a factory in order to keep their jobs. Black men arrested and losing their property to [...] sherriffs. A man and his son chased by a mafia member who desired nothing more than to execute them both. I can imagine that some people might read those things and think that it sounds too sad to read for pleasure. Please don't assume that. There is so much beauty to the people and the stories that it is enjoyable reading. Life can be good to live even when one goes through awful things. The same is true in the books that we read. Even though we may ache for the people in the stories, we love them. We live along with them. This book, along with the other books in the series, is excellent, because it gets you to live right along side those in the books. You don't just learn about their lives. You participate in them in a very real sense.
