When Daniel Fraser lost his wife to leukemia, he pretty much stopped living. He crawled into his cave and did not come out. His work, as Captain of the Yosemite Search and Rescue, became his raison d'Ltre. Even sleep was something he rarely did, and when he did, it was on the couch. A former Navy SEAL who was afraid of sleeping in his own bed. How the might had fallen.

Sophie Riene grew up pampered, to say the least, the daughter of a French CEO and a champion figure skater. Because she was an only child, her younger cousin Louis was more like a brother to her. They did everything together, including becoming top rated rock climbers. Together, they dreamed of the ultimate climb, El Capitan in Yosemite. But then, Louis lost his sight. So Sophie came to Yosemite alone, determined to make her trip count for something. For Louis.

When Daniel is called in to rescue an injured climber, he smacks flat into life again, in the person of a very adventurous Sophie Riene. Can Sophie get him to come out of his cave and live again? And when Sophie’s life crumbles around her, can Daniel rescue her?

Review for A Soft Place to Fall (April 2005)

Ms. Daniels does a marvelous job of taking the reader into the world of paramedics and parajumpers as they engage in a daring rescue of a downed plane. She brings the camaraderie experienced by the rescue professions to life on the pages in an absorbing story. The characters come to life so well one can almost believe they have met the people portrayed in the story.

The author’s descriptions of Lake Tahoe and Yosemite are realistic, and so too are her descriptions of the small towns and cities of northern California. The reader need only close his or her eyes and each city, town and locale will come to life.

This reviewer had a hard time putting this book down until the last page was read. For those readers looking for an action-packed, fast-moving, totally fabulous read, A Soft Place to Fall should top their list.
