One Mountain Away by Emilie Richards
4.0
4 STARS
"With nothing but brains, ambition and sheer nerve, Charlotte Hale built a career as a tough, savvy real-estate developer. Her reputation is rock-solid...but her life is empty.
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." (From Amazon)
I had a hard time liking Charlotte's daughter Taylor this book even though we get the backstory. I felt she was a bit too rigid BUT she was very realistic. This novel in many ways is a journey of three women trying to do what they think is best for their children.
I read the second book in the series first only because I did not realize it belonged in a series. While there were some spoilers in the 2nd book on the whole I enjoyed the journey of reading this book that knowing what the ending was did not ruin it for me.
