The Beveled Edge

The Beveled Edge is a memoir of Kevin Braun who was born and raised in Northern California. His story begins with two young parents, Lee and Joy, struggling to raise their boys on a homestead during the early 1970's. The main character and his brother are forced to figure things out on their own when their parents' divorce and move to separate towns. As he grows older, the young man develops a sense of overconfidence that is a cover for some of his shortcomings and personal failures. He eventually pursues a reckless lifestyle which leads into a world of love and loss. Several journeys are made in an attempt to re-discover who he actually is. There will be a voyage across the Sea of Cortez, hiking alone in blinding snowstorms, and a trip to Europe with his best friend Brian. Time and again, Kevin finds that his only true salvation is found while pursuing an extreme passion for skiing. The slopes of Lake Tahoe and deep powder in Snowbird, Utah gave Kevin the strength and fortitude that he was so desperately seeking. The author lives with his wife, Jacqueline, and their children on five acres of rugged land near Santa Fe, New Mexico.
