On the surface The Mountain Between Us appears to be nothing more than another survival story, but don’t be fooled.
This is an emotionally laden journey – a story meaningful enough to leave a lasting impression on this reader.
On a stormy winter’s night, two strangers, Ben and Ashley, wait for a flight at the Salt Lake City airport.
Ashley Knox is an attractive, successful writer and Dr Ben Payne has just wrapped up a medical conference.
The pair meet by chance on a desperate attempt to get home on board a single engine charter plane.
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.
As the days on the mountains become weeks, their survival becomes increasingly perilous. How will they make it out of the wilderness and, if they do, how will this experience change them forever?
