Norman Ollestad's father, an adventurist and FBI agent, was fairly obsessed with channeling his son's course through life. Almost from the time Norman took his first steps, his father was strapping skis to the toddler's tiny feet and hurling him down the side of a mountain. Norman was also forced to learn how to surf by the notorious "sink-or-swim" method. While he soon came to resent his father's stubborn and abusive training techniques, Norman is alive today because of those hard lessons. In 1979, the eleven-year-old Norman was the only survivor of a small plane crash that killed his father and two other people. Stranded on a treacherous mountainside amidst the blizzard that caused the plane to go down, young Norman used his skiing and survival skills to escape certain death. His riveting memoir tells his incredible story of strength and endurance, balancing the chilling winds of his mountain ordeal with the brilliant sunshine of the beaches where he learned to surf.
No reserve at all! GOOD LUCK!
