This is one of those times when I took a chance buying a book I knew nothing about by an author I have never heard of. BOY AM I GLAD I DID. This story held me captive from the first page to the close. There is something going on through the whole book with lots of wonderful dialog. I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN. The story centers on Wren, a beautiful wholesome girl who is on her way to the mission field to serve with her aunt and uncle, and Heath, a handsome, rich, well known actor who is on his way to film a movie. They are thrown together after their plane crashes and they are the only survivors. The Himalayas are very rugged. They survive by eating the food from the plane and sleeping in the cargo hold. Heath can't believe that of all the people he could have gotten stuck with it had to be a Bible thumping Christian. Wren is trying to be strong in her faith but she is really scared. With good reason. They have encounters with bears and wolves. When the food runs out they decide to use the skies they found in the plane to try to get down the mountain. That night when Heath went to get some wood to build a fire a bear catches him off guard. Heath screamed and Wren looked up to see the bear had Heaths leg in his mouth. What will she do?? Will Health survive?? Can Wren's faith keep her strong and make and impact on Heath's life?? That is only the beginning. This book is full of 'edge of your' seat adventure. I read it in one day because I couldn't lay it down. There are so many twists and turns and it seems every page is packed. I fell in love with the characters. They were so well drawn that you felt as if you knew them and that they actually existed. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who loves romance, adventure and action. I truly hope this author writes some other books. I am hooked.
