by Ole Carlson (Author)
In November 1946, three-year-old Ole Carlson lived with his family in a rural waterfront home on idyllic Bainbridge Island near Seattle, Washington. His father was a World War II shipyard welder. His mother was a stay-at-home housewife raising three children. As rain continuously fell and the Earth could no longer absorb it, disaster struck and changed everything. In a fascinating retelling of his first eighteen years of life, Carlson begins by detailing the catastrophic landslide that destroyed his family's home and possessions, robbing them of their financial security, hopes and dreams for the future. After Carlson reveals how his family's previous life suddenly vanished into that November night, he leads readers through his childhood as he matured, struggled to reconcile his previous beliefs about God and the wealthy, learned to trust his intuition and ultimately released his fears to find a new path forward. Olaf Rising from the Rubble is the memoir of a young man who embarked on a unique, coming-of-age journey through two decades of challenges and reflection.
