Publisher's Note
A personal account set against a backdrop of southern California's surf culture in the late 1970s describes the author's struggles with constant fear in the face of his father's thrill-seeking personality, his forced participation in dangerous ski and surf sports, and his efforts to survive a plane crash that killed his father and stranded him in the Gabriel Mountains. 300,000 first printing.

Industry Reviews
"[In this] engrossing story of adventure, survival and psychological exploration....Ollestad hits several notes that should make his memoir irresistible to those looking for page-turning but thought-provoking summer reading along the lines of Jon Krakauer's INTO THIN AIR."
(05/15/2009)

"Ollestad...succeeds in making this book an elegant memoir as well as a transformative coming-of-age tale. When he leaves his father's limp body behind on the icy plateau...it's clear he takes his first perilous steps not just into survival, but into adulthood."
(06/14/2009)

"[A] breathtaking 'memoir of survival,'....[This] portrait of a father's consuming love for his son...will keep you up late into the night."
(06/14/2009)

"There's enough drama in the plane crash alone to sustain a novel, but Ollestad has done something much more. He's written a beautiful story about a thrill-loving father...who taught his boy not just how to live but also but how to thrive."
(06/28/2009)
