Books with author Charles Martin Smith

From the author of Where the River Ends, comes this page-turning story of love and survival.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 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? Both a tender and page-turning read, The Mountain Between Us will reaffirm your belief in the power of love to sustain us.

A man with a painful past . . . a child with a doubtful future . . . and a shared journey toward healing for both their hearts. It begins on the shaded town square in a sleepy Southern town. A spirited seven–year–old has a brisk business at her lemonade stand. Her latest customer‚ a bearded stranger‚ drains his cup and heads to his car. But the little girl's pretty yellow dress can't quite hide the ugly scar on her chest. The stranger understands more about it than he wants to admit. And the beat–up bread truck careening around the corner with its radio blaring is about to change the trajectory of both their lives. Before it's over‚ they'll both know there are painful reasons why crickets cry — and that miracles lurk around unexpected corners.

In this emotionally powerful sequel to The Dead Don't Dance‚ Maggie Styles wakes up from a coma. For her husband Dylan‚ it's been four months of grieving — for their stillborn child‚ for the wife who was as good as dead‚ and for all that might have been. “When Maggie opened her eyes that New Year's Day some seventeen months ago‚ I felt like I could see again. The fog lifted off my soul‚ and for the first time since our son had died and she had gone to sleep . . . some four months‚ sixteen days‚ eighteen hours‚ and nineteen minutes earlier — I took a breath deep enough to fill both my lungs.” Life began again for Dylan Styles when his beloved wife Maggie awoke from a coma. A coma brought upon by the intense two–day labor that resulted in heartbreaking loss. In this poignant story that is filled with Southern atmosphere‚ Dylan and Maggie must come to terms with their past before they can embrace their future.
