Flying together on a storm-ravaged night is gifted surgeon Dr. Ben Payne, who is facing an agonizing separation from his wife, and Ashley Knox, a young magazine writer en route to her wedding. When their plane crashes in a frigid and remote mountain wilderness, Ashley and Ben are plunged into a life or death struggle.

These intimate conversations and their dependence on each other create an extraordinary bond.

Sometimes I am amazed when I read Charles Martin's books that some of my thoughts and feelings are not unique to me. Each of his books have taken me on a journey of self discovery and I finish each with a little more understanding of others as well as of myself.

I can't say enough about this book. I loved it, and it moved me to tears and laughter. There's a tenderness to the writing that's balanced with humor. I've read it several times, and each time, it makes me want to be a better person, to love better and more deeply.

I loved this book. I was surprised at Ben's actual story near the end of the book. Impossible to put down. A good story of commitment and how we sometimes make choices and never realize what the consequences will turn out to be. It teaches us to think before we speak, what if these were the last words my loved one ever hears from me?

Charles Martin - Great Author. He reaches deep to tell a story that intrigues. "The Mountain Between Us" captivated - couldn't put it down. The characters have a depth and humanity that challenges.

A snowstorm and a closed airport bring two strangers together as they charter a small plane in an attempt to outrun a storm system. Dr Ben Payne attended a medical conference, then spent a few days indulging in his hobby of mountain climbing. Ashley Knox, a successful journalist, is heading home for her wedding. As the plane is flying over one of the harshest wilderness areas in the United States, the pilot suffers an unexpected heart attack. He miraculously manages to land the plane, but does not survive the impact.
Both Ashley and Ben are injured in the crash, Ben with cracked ribs and Ashley with a broken leg that renders her immobile. Fortunately, Ben has the medical skills to treat them both, and the survival skills to keep them alive in the unforgiving whiteout conditions. However, he soon realises that there will be no rescue, and if they are to survive they must break the first rule of air crash survival and leave the site of the crash to seek civilisation, safety – and food.
Interspersed with the highs and lows of their survival trek are the recordings that Ben makes for his wife, Rachel. As the story progresses, we learn about their meeting, courtship, marriage and, gradually, their separation – although the cause of their separation, that mountain between them, is not something that Ben discusses. Meanwhile, as Ashley listens to the recordings, she considers her own relationship with her fiancé, and wonders how their relationship compares with the obvious love Ben has for Rachel.
It has to be said that I tend not to read books written by men, as they are often long on testosterone and explosions, and short on character development and plot. The Mountain Between Us was therefore a very pleasant surprise, with its dual focus on the physical survival of Ben and Ashley, and the emotional survival of Ben and Rachel’s relationship.
Overall, this is a beautifully-written bittersweet tale that examines the nature of love and fidelity against a backdrop of survival in a harsh, unforgiving environment. Although it is published by a mainstream rather than a Christian publisher, it contains no swearing or other objectionable content, and it has an underlying premise of faith – not any words or anything I could put my finger on, just a sentiment (a quick Amazon search found that some of his earlier books were published by Thomas Nelson, a prominent Christian publisher). I very much enjoyed this book, and am glad that I stepped out of my literary comfort zone to read it.
