A modern-day fairytale, Ain’t No Mountain introduces an urban princess, lost and in search of her true identity. Still single and anything but satisfied, she is aided on her journey by a middle-aged, self-proclaimed hip hop god-mama who worries she might have been married one day too long, and an African prince who isn’t having any of it.
Along with eight friends, three sixteen-year-olds, a computer dating service, one MIA husband, and a whole lot of chicken, they embark on a humorous and poignant search for truth, true love, and happiness in a land called Baltimore. Like the song says, "Ain’t no mountain high…"!
Once more Sharon Ewell Foster captures our hearts with quirky humor, insights into human nature and culture, and a depth of spiritual understanding.
Reviews for Ain't No Mountain
"Sharon writes for those of us who want more than just words on a page, but pictures painted on the canvases of our minds…a 'Picasso of the pen!"' -- T. D. JAKES
"Twice I’ve picked up a book written by Christian novelist Sharon Ewell Foster and have received healing, affirmation, and confirmation. Coincidence? I think not; Foster either has someone tailing me to record the intimate details of my life or she has a direct connection to the heart of God, who loves women. It’s the latter.

"There's a reason the Christian publishing industry sat up and took notice when Sharon Ewell Foster's first book released several years ago: She's good, very good, and with Ain’t No Mountain she proves that she has staying power. The sequel to Ain't No River is every bit as entertaining and insightful as its predecessor, which ended up on the Essence bestseller list --- not a bad showing at all for a book released by a Christian publisher.

When I finished this book, I had to place Ain’t No Mountain in the same category as Soul Food and How To Make An American Quilt. Sharon Foster’s circle of friends and family keep this community of women alive as much as the Bible keeps a Christian reading….I will keep this book among my rereads. -- Abigail D. Engel, womenwriters.net http://www.womenwriters.net/winter05/AintNoMountain1.htm
Border’s Best of 2004/Religion & Spirituality - Foster wants her fiction to entertain and uplift. She achieves both goals with this sassy, funny, heartfelt tale of women looking for love and themselves in contemporary Baltimore.
