The Mountain Between Us by Charles Martin

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Two strangers, Ashley Knox and Dr. Ben Payne, take a charter flight from the Salt Lake City airport in the hope of avoiding a winter storm that is causing flight cancellations--only to have the flight crash in the vast wilderness of the Wyoming mountains. Both Ashley and Ben are put to the test in enumerable ways--first to survive and get off the mountain, and second, to deal with their complicated emotional issues.

I enjoyed this read a great deal. The adventure and survival elements of this book kept me reading to find out the fate of Ashley and Ben, and both main characters were well developed and interesting.
