| "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." - Ginger Adams Otis 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." - Bill Gifford 06/14/2009 "[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 "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." - Maggie Galehouse 06/28/2009 |
