An intimate, uplifting story of a courageous marine biologist’s journey from the instant her healthy husband suffers a stroke, through Beth’s trials and tender moments as his medical advocate and conflicts during his recovery when her instinct to protect him from risk collides with his need for wilderness sailing expeditions with his family in Alaska’s magnificent yet unforgiving waters.
“. . . a survival story of the highest order, navigating the complex
terrain of marriage, medical crisis, and a future reimagined.”
—CAROLINE VAN HEMERT, award-winning author of The Sun is a Compass
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.

Beth Mathews earned her master’s degree in marine biology from the University of California at Santa Cruz. As a professor at the University of Alaska Southeast, she taught courses in biology, behavioral ecology, and marine mammalogy and led research on harbor seals, Steller sea lions, and harbor porpoises. She has also studied humpback, gray, and sperm whales and—briefly—sleeper sharks, and led undergraduate research programs on board tall ships in the Gulf of Maine and from field camps in Hawaii and Alaska. She has published numerous scientific papers, and a chapter from Deep Waters placed second in the 2018 Redwood Writers Memoir Contest. Deep Waters is Mathews’s first book. She lives on an island with her husband in Puget Sound, WA.
