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? 000796729 520__ $$aStranded in a frigid mountain wilderness after a plane crash, a gifted surgeon and a young magazine writer are forced to rely on each other for survival while confronting painful truths about their personal lives. 000796729 650_0 $$aAircraft accidents$$vFiction. 000796729 650_0 $$aAirplane crash survival$$vFiction. 000796729 650_0 $$aSurvival$$vFiction. 000796729 650_0 $$aWilderness survival$$vFiction. 000796729 650_0 $$aMarital conflict$$vFiction. 000796729 651_0 $$aHigh Uintas Wilderness (Utah)$$vFiction. 000796729 655_7 $$aRomance fiction.$$2lcgft 000796729 655_7 $$aReligious fiction.$$2lcgft 000796729 85280 $$bpopro$$hMartin 000796729 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:796729$$pGLOBAL_SET 000796729 980__ $$aBIB 000796729 980__ $$aBOOK
