Author: Charles Martin

Kathryn passed this book to me but I think it originated with either Regan or Tracie – I love being able to share books but with more of us on e-readers it doesn’t work as well. As long as there are yard sales though there will probably always be “real” books to share.

I enjoyed the novel but when I added it to my “To Read” list I thought it was a true story. A doctor and a journalist take a flight in poor weather hoping to reach home – one to their wedding and the other to their surgical duties. Even as the pilot is suffering a massive heart attack, he is able to land the plane safely but it is in a very remote mountain range.

Told mostly from the point of view of the surgeon we learn a little about his life and a lot about their struggle to survive. It wasn’t until the very last bit of the book that I realized something was a little “off”.

Now that I know the ending I won’t bother seeing the movie.
