About this ebook
Now a film starring Idris Elba and Kate Winslet
What if your life depended on a stranger?
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 wedding. Dr Ben Payne has just wrapped up a medical conference and is also eager to return home. When the last outgoing flight is cancelled because of a storm, Ben charters a small plane that can fly around the weather front. And when the pilot says the single engine prop plane can fit one more passenger, Ben offers the seat to Ashley.
Then the unthinkable happens and the plane crashes into the High Uintas Wilderness. Ben, who has broken ribs, and Ashley, who suffers a terrible leg fracture, along with the pilot's dog, are faced with a battle to survive. How will they make it out of the wilderness and if they do, will they ever be the same again?

Just so beautiful. I learnt a lot about love as I read this and about how tragedies show who you REALLY are on the inside. It's all good and well being polite, loving and nice when you're comfortable, fed, housed and warm...but when it all goes to poo - who are you then? I like that this book explores that. I like that as I read it, I reflected on my husband's character and how he is so much like "Ben" - a really decent, good, caring man who doesn't talk much, but whose kindness, strength and belief in good things and great humour can cross Mountains. In this case, literally. Read this book! So good for your heart. Keep em coming, Charles xx
