About this item

A land untamed. A love unbroken. A faith unshaken. When Sam and Bonnie Ward leave Ohio for the Alaskan wilderness, they step into a land where silence has a pulse and the wind carries its own wild gospel. Life on a remote island on storm‑tossed Skilak Lake strips everything to its essentials. With no electricity, running water, or even a telephone, the young couple must survive sub‑zero winters, violent storms, prowling bears, and the eerie isolation of the last frontier. Each day demands courage, ingenuity, and a deep trust in God's protection. Just as they begin to find their rhythm in this raw, untamed world, a sudden accident shatters their fragile sense of security and becomes the ultimate test of their resolve. In a place where help is unreachable, Sam and Bonnie must cling to each other; survival will require every ounce of who they are—and all they believe. In this true story of resilience and devotion, Bonnie Ward invites readers into a landscape as breathtaking as it is brutal. Winds of Skilak is an unforgettable adventure that will leave you breathless, inspired, and thinking long after the last page. Winner of five national book awards.
