Few people can justify a memoir at the age of thirty-three. Gregory Scofield is the exception, a young man who has inhabited several lives in the time most of us can manage only one.

The tragedy made international news, splashing photos of the seven dead Canadian and US skiers on television screens and the pages of newspapers.
