I don't usually read memoirs, but this was a win from Book Browse. Crazy for the Storm read more like a fiction novel. Norman was 11 when he, his Dad and his Dad's girlfriend were in his Dad's plane and crashed in the mountains. Norman was the only survivor and had to save his own life. This is his story.
