About this ebook

“A survival story of the highest order, navigating the complex terrain of marriage, medical crisis, and a future reimagined.”—Caroline Van Hemert, author of The Sun is a Compass

How do you protect someone you love without holding them back?

A marine biologist’s adventurous life as a professor and mother in Alaska is upended when her healthy husband is slammed by a rare type of stroke. His radical approach to recovery clashes with her instinct to keep him safe at home and sets them on a collision course as he insists on ambitious sailing expeditions with Beth and their young son in Alaska’s magnificent yet unforgiving waters.

If you enjoy Deep Waters, Beth’s second book, Between Two Lights: A Memoir of Divided Love and Adventures at Sea, will be published in January 2027.
