"Intriguing" women's fiction from a USA Today–bestselling author with "credible, compassionate, and even heartless characters" and an "enticing plot" ( New York Journal of Books). Cristy Haviland gave birth behind bars to the child of the man who put her there and might yet destroy her. Now she's free again, with no idea what to do next. As smart as she is, a learning disability has kept her from learning to read. And that's the least of her hurdles. Georgia Ferguson, talented educator, receives a mysterious charm bracelet that may lead her to the mother who abandoned her at birth. Does she want to follow the clues? Can she bring herself to reach out for help along the way? Now Cristy and Georgia are standing at a crossroads, a place where unlikely unions can be formed. A place where two very different women might bridge the gap between generations and education, and together make tough choices. They might even, if they dare, find friendship. Praise for One Mountain Away, book 1 of the Goddesses Anonymous series: "Richards creates a heart-wrenching atmosphere that slowly builds to the final pages, and continues to echo after the book is finished." — Publishers Weekly "Complex characters, compelling emotions and the healing power of forgiveness—what could be better? I loved this book!" — New York Times–bestselling author Sherryl Woods
