Williwaw Winds is a tale of disaster at sea inspired by the authors sons true story. Jake Bergren, only 16, has a bad attitude as he begins his first-ever crab fishing trip in Alaskan waters. Hes angry:
toward his dad for caring more about his sister than about him
toward Freddy, the crewman who forever taunts and teases him
toward himself for running away from brotherly responsibilities at home
toward God for allowing his sister to suffer after her accident

When violent winds threaten their fishing boat, Jakes priorities suddenly change. Is he strong enough to help the crew save their boat? Is he brave enough to jump into their tiny life raft? Will they survive the 100-knot winds? Did the Coast Guard hear their May Day call? Will he ever see his family again?

An inspiring tale. Keeps you on the edge of your seat as you watch a boy come of age.
--Boyd Sutton, Former Editor, The Wisconsin Writers Journal

By itself, the tale is a sea story worthy of Jack London, but like The Sea Wolf, there is much more here than a yarn of misadventure there is a depth of spirituality in her writing that isnt heavy-handed or preachy, but serves as a reminder of the grace of God in extremis If there is any failing in Bairs tale, it is that it is far too short a time to spend in Jake Bergrens world.
--Rick Olivo, Reporter, The Daily Press, Ashland, Wis.
