Winds of Skilak is a true tale of absorbing force, sure to bring out your own sense of adventure. Will they be able to survive in this isolated wilderness filled with unseen dangers?Īuthor Bonnie Ward chronicles an exciting and thought-provoking tale of one couple's faith in God and dedication to each other through all of Alaska's curveballs. Facing sub-freezing temperatures, unfriendly bears, and cabin fever, the Wards find strength in new friends, each other, and the awe-inspiring beauty of ''the last frontier.'' Just when they finally settle in, a freak accident proves to be the ultimate test of their resolve. As Sam and Bonnie adapt to a life without running water, electricity and telephones, the unforgiving, desolate environment tests their courage early on. Winds of Skilak traces a young couple's adventurous move from the suburbs of Ohio to a remote island on ill-tempered Skilak Lake.

Bonnie now in a much more forgiving climate answered a few questions recently about how ' Winds of Skilak' came into existence and the effect it has had. Life in the wilderness south of Anchorage certainly wasnt easy, but it did inspire a book.
