ONCE THE MOST TALKED-ABOUT tragedy on the waters of Green Bay, this nearly forgotten story is powerfully retold in Palmer's historical novel, Into the Storm. Set against the backdrop of World War II-era Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, the book recounts the life, struggles, and successes of the prominent shipbuilding family of Leathem D. Smith.

On June 23, 1946, after a spirited regatta in Menominee, Michigan, Smith's sailboat, Half Moon, is caught in a violent storm while crossing the waters of Green Bay toward home. Only his teenage daughter, Patsy, survives-defying nature and all odds. Battling hurricane-force winds, frigid water, and relentless waves, she swims for an astonishing six and a half hours through the darkness to reach safety. Into the Storm is an emotionally powerful narrative of one family's rise and fall, and one young woman's extraordinary will to live.

Palmer, Jamie Kay: - Jamie K. Palmer is a Wisconsin resident and a Door County author of four children's book and her debut historical novel, Into the Storm. Her children's book titles are: The House that Moved, Elwood the Moose, Gladys Sings, and Sweet Dreams from Door County.Palmer loves to create. Every time she writes a book, she can feel herself disappearing into the pages, living the story through her characters, whether fictional or true to life. She experiences their joys as well as their sorrows as she writes the words that shape their lives; and for a while she escapes to a world of her own bidding. Palmers holds a master's degree in psychology. Her background influences her writing, as she creatively weaves concepts of courage, self acceptance, and the power of love into everything she writes.
