"A moving story of love, family, and survival against all odds from beloved entrepreneur and reality TV star Bill Rancic. A father from Chicago takes a road trip to the city of Whitehorse, in Yukon Territory, with his wife and son. During the car ride, they reveal to the boy their harrowing experience surviving a horrific plane crash in the wilderness ten years before, which is how the boy, in fact, came to be born. Set amid the deep, wild woods of the Yukon, First Light tells the story of Daniel Albrechtand Kerry Egan, young lovers leaving a work trip in Alaska to plan their wedding back home in Chicago. Not long into their trip, both engines of their plane catch fire and send them careening into a mountainside in the middle of a terrible snowstorm. Kerry is seriously injured in the accident, and it soon becomes clear that search-and-rescue teams aren't going to find the survivors in time to save her. Daniel--the one person with survival experience amid the passengers--makes the courageous decision to find help and bring it back to the rest of the passengers, hoping against hope he might save the woman he loves. He leaves Kerry in the care of their coworker, Phil Velez, himself seriously injured in the crash, and takes off into the woods to find a town, a house with a telephone, a road. Something. But Daniel's choices are made all the more difficult by the presence of his boss, a stubborn man more interested in results than taking care of people. Only one man will come out of their trek alive, but it still may not be in time to save Kerry and the others back at the crash site, slowly dying from their injuries. As the parents' story draws to a close, the truth about the boy's life, and the identity of his father, will at last be revealed"--… (plus d'informations)

I read this because I stumbled upon it at the library and back in the day, before I hated all things Apprentice, I actually watched season 1 and was happy that Bill won so I figured I'd read his novel.

It's pretty terrible. 100% predictable and repetitive. There is literally not one plot point that you can't see coming a million miles away. One central point is one of my biggest pet peeves in romance novels (Phil is head over heels in love with a woman he never interacts with. He loves her because she's attractive, I guess, despite not being over his dead wife. I can't stand it when men love women for absolutely no reason other than their red hair.) so the book loses points for that. Still, I give it two stars since I did read the whole thing and as a mindless way to pass the time by the pool or on the beach it was....fine. ( )

The arrival of an invitation creates an opportunity to reveal a long-held family secret. Kerry and her husband take their son on a road trip to the Canadian Yukon for a memorial reunion of a plane crash. I did figure out the twist long before then end of the story, but that did not spoil the reading experience for me. It is a quick read. I finished in an afternoon. There are gruesome scenes so beware. A sort of happy ending for some is the result. My thanks to the author and the Penguin First to Read program for a complimentary copy. ( )

I was, admittedly, slightly horrified to see WHO the author was but it turned out that I really did like the author, way back when, and this novel was quite good---I would love to know how he made the frozen Yukon descriptions so believable....and very readable in the what's-going-to-happen next aspect. I'm surprised that the author picture on the back of the book does not look anything like the picture of him that I recognized...on the web. ( )

A book about a plane crash is not a dramatic story about survival. A book about survivors is not really about dealing with the emotions of being the one to survive. A book categorized as a romance is not really romantic. Regardless of what it is not, First Light by Bill Rancic does keep me reading with his visual writing. The descriptions are the memorable part of this book much more so than the characters or the story.

Reviewed for the Penguin First to Read program. ( )
