What to expect
With nothing but brains, ambition, and sheer nerve, Charlotte Hale built a career as a tough, do-anything-to-succeed real estate developer. She's at the top of that mountain—but her life is empty. Her friends are as grasping and insincere as she has become. Far worse, she's alienated her family so completely that she's totally lost touch with her only daughter.
One terrifying day, facing her own mortality, she realizes that her ambition has almost destroyed her chance at happiness. So Charlotte vows to make amends, not simply with her considerable wealth but by offering a hand instead of a handout, putting in hours and energy instead of putting in an appearance, opening her home and heart instead of her wallet.
With each wrenching, exhilarating decision, Charlotte finds that climbing a new mountain—one built on friendship, love, and forgiveness—will teach her what it truly means to build a legacy.
Critics Review
“When I first began reading One Mountain Away, I wondered where the story was going. A few
pages later, I knew precisely where this story was going—straight to my heart.
Words that come to my mind are wow, fabulous, and beautiful. Definitely a
must-read. If any book I’ve ever read deserves to be made into a film, One Mountain Away is it! Kudos to Emilie
Richards.”
“Complex characters, compelling emotions, and
the healing power of forgiveness—what could be better? I loved this book!”
“Emilie Richards’ compassion and deep
understanding of family relationships, especially those among women, are the
soul of One Mountain Away. This rich,
multilayered story of love and bitterness, humor, loss, and redemption haunts
me as few other books have.”
“Emilie Richards is at the top of her game in
this richly rewarding tale of love and family and the ties that bind us all. One Mountain Away is everything I want
in a novel and more.”
“Richards
continues to amaze and thrill readers with protagonists who realize they need
to change and make their lives mean something. The characters in her latest
Goddesses Anonymous novel are smartly developed throughout, and while you may
not like them at the beginning, you will adore them by the end.”
“Richards creates a heart-wrenching atmosphere
that slowly builds to the final pages, and continues to echo after the book is
finished.”
