I remember when this event actually occurred. The same 2 storms that had them stranded, had kept my new wife and I from crossing over the mountains from California, enroute to Minnesota. I followed it on the news.
I was impressed by the strength of the parents, how they battled to survive, for themselves and their son.
Many reviewers have dissed Mr. Stropa for getting into trouble in the first place. I am glad that so many people have their own lives so together, and are so far removed from any of life's foibles that they are in a position to be so critical. However, for we mere humans, his error in judgment does not lessen his courage and strength.
It is sad that this type of life experience could not help to keep the Stropas together. They were obviously intended for each other.
