The Mountain Between Us (2013)
“Jameso pulled a pack from the back seat of his truck and slipped it onto his shoulders.
When Maggie had accepted his invitation to “get out of the house for a while” she hadn’t imagined he meant heading up to the top of Black Mountain Pass. She looked down at the snowshoes strapped to her boots. “I’d always imagined myself gliding gracefully along on skis.”
“Not while you’re pregnant. Too much danger of falling.” He handed her a pair of ski poles. “These will help with your balance. Trust me, i...f you can walk, you can snowshoe.”
“I’m not sure tromping around in the cold on top of a mountain pass is my idea of enjoyment.”
“Come on. It’s a beautiful day. And the doctor said exercise was good for you.”
