From the author of "Where the River Ends," comes this page-turning
story of love and survival.
On a stormy winter night, two strangers wait for a flight at the
Salt Lake City airport. Ashley Knox is an attractive, successful
writer, who is flying East for her much anticipated wedding. Dr.
Ben Payne has just wrapped up a medical conference and is also
eager to get back East for a slate of surgeries he has scheduled
for the following day. When the last outgoing flight is cancelled
due to a broken de-icer and a forthcoming storm, Ben finds a
charter plane that can take him around the storm and drop him in
Denver to catch a connection. And when the pilot says the single
engine prop plane can fit one more, if barely, Ben offers the seat
to Ashley knowing that she needs to get back just as urgently. And
then the unthinkable happens. The pilot has a heart attack
mid-flight and the plane crashes into the High Uintas Wilderness--
one of the largest stretches of harsh and remote land in the United
States.
Ben, who has broken ribs and Ashley, who suffers a terrible leg
fracture, along with the pilot's dog, are faced with an incredibly
harrowing battle to survive. Fortunately, Ben is a medical
professional and avid climber (and in a lucky break, has his gear
from a climb earlier in the week). With little hope for rescue, he
must nurse Ashley back to health and figure out how they are going
to get off the mountain, where the temperature hovers in the teens.
Meanwhile, Ashley soon realizes that the very private Ben has some
serious emotional wounds to heal as well. He explains to Ashley
that he is separated from his beloved wife, but in a long standing
tradition, he faithfully records messages for her on his voice
recorder reflecting on their love affair. As Ashley eavesdrops on
Ben's tender words to his estranged wife she comes to fear that
when it comes to her own love story, she's just settling. And
what's more: she begins to realize that the man she is really
attracted to, the man she may love, is Ben.
As the days on the mountains become weeks, their survival become
increasingly perilous. How will they make it out of the wilderness
and if they do, how will this experience change them forever?
Both a tender and page-turning read, "The Mountain Between Us" will
reaffirm your belief in the power of love to sustain us.
