Against the wind

"Outback ski enthusiast Kirk VanHee received the wake-up call of a lifetime after a monster avalanche atop Aspen Mountain nearly took his life. A child of the sixties with a troubled past, Kirk found the family he'd never had among Aspen's close-knit hippie community. But his new life of peace, love and self-discovery turned menacing after a recreational drug habit quickly escalated into a full-on battle with addiction in a dangerous underworld of drug dealing and drug running. He knew that sooner rather than later he was going to die - in an overdose or a drug deal gone bad. What he didn't know was that Mother Nature would come calling first, and that in one powerful moment, he would be given everything he'd need to turn his life around"--Back cover.
