Description
Destined to stand with other classic true stories of man against nature-Into Thin Air and Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer; Sebastian Junger's The Perfect Storm-Crazy for the Storm is a literary triumph. Norman Olstead's New York Times bestselling memoir is the story of the harrowing plane crash the author miraculously survived at age eleven, framed by the moving tale of his complicated relationship with his charismatic, adrenaline-addicted father.
