Gravity (Kindle Single)

From the author of the critically acclaimed,Â New York TimesÂ bestselling memoirÂ Crazy for the StormÂ comes the next chapter in the extraordinary life of a survivor determined to embrace life with the passion his father instilled in him.
Â
Twenty-year-old Ollestad escapes his mundane collegiate routine in Southern California for St. Anton, a remote village nestled in the glittering and dangerous peaks of the Austrian Alps. There, he befriends the local clique of ski bums and fills his days with endless, exhilarating skiing, and his nights flirting with the prettiest girls at the bars.Â But in the quiet moments, Norman cannot escape the painful memories of his challenging, adrenaline-addicted father who took him to St. Anton fifteen years earlier, and who died in a terrible plane crash of which Norman, at the age of eleven, was the sole survivor. InÂ Gravity, Ollestad transports us to those thrilling days in the Alps, and reveals how his search to find greater meaning in his rudderless life helped him discover the relationships that make life worth living.

Norman Ollestad was born in Los Angeles in 1967 and grew up in Malibu. He studied creative writing at UCLA and attended UCLAâ€™s undergrad Film School. His writing has appeared in Outside, Menâ€™s Journal and Time. He is married and has two childrenâ€”a son and daughterâ€”and lives in Venice, California.
