“A talented downhill skier, Ollestad was only 11 when he survived a plane crash that took the life of his father and two others in 1978. As much about the relationship between a boy and his surfing FBI agent father as it is about survival at 8,600 ft, this memoir is both incredible and inspiring.”—Colin Rea, Director of Fern Ridge Library District, Veneta, OR
