Reality, in your face, nitty-gritty, raw human emotions from selfishness and sarcasm to love and kindness, support and understanding. This book has it all and YES, it is a powerful book.

Several people board a flight that will take them to Phoenix Arizona, though a blizzard keeps them grounded for a bit till run ways are cleared, wings de-iced. During this time the people on board get to know each other a bit. These people will ALL touch one anothers lives in a multitude of ways.

Most of the book is centered after the plane crashes and in how the victims learn to live on while so many died that tragic day. One man, a hero, will be remembered as the man who died so they could live.

It also centers on GOD. Jesus. In how HE has bigger plans in all of our lives, a purpose for each of us, some are too blind to see, but so obvious to others.
I really liked this book. It played out like a movie to me, the writing was straight up, real, solid, moving and again, powerful. Dont miss this one. Christian or not. This book has a lot to teach us all.

Nancy Moser has become one of my favorite authors. When I start one of her novels I find it hard not to continue reading, and this was definitely one of those books. For those that do NOT want to read religious fiction though, do not choose this book because it definitely has an important message for all of us. I only mention that aspect, not because it deterred from the story, but because of the people that complain that they were unaware of the religious content before purchasing. This is not the book for you. That being said, this was a riviting story that was well worth my time, and had me cheering at times and crying at others. Have fun with this one!!!

Absolutely fantastic book! Was difficult to put it down. Kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. The story contains many different stories and plots (for each character), yet similarities between each of them. Very well written, and a thought-provoker. You can't go wrong reading this book! Highly recommended.
