WILLIWAW WINDS, an adventure novel for ages 8 and up.
When Jake and four other crewmen encounter williwaws—violent winds off the Bering Sea—while on their way home from a six-week crab fishing trip, Jake forgets his anger at his crewmate for tormenting him. He forgets his anger at his dad for caring more for his sister, Joanie, than about him. He forgets his anger at God for “causing” Joanie’s paralyzing accident. His biggest concern is to save himself from the 90-mile-an-hour winds and sixteen-foot seas. Williwaw Winds is based on the true story of how Sally Bair’s son and four others were rescued by the Coast Guard after their boat went down in Alaskan waters.
