After tragedy disrupts her life, Willa escapes her grief by venturing into fantasy. But she soon wakes Baku, a creature whose sole purpose is to devour the threads that tie dreams to reality. With the beast in pursuit and her new friends, Benny and Hadley, helping her, Willa is thrust into adventure. To overcome Baku, she has to find the only person who ever faced the monster and survived, a reclusive old woman who lives high in the mountains. This coming-of-age story contains moments of comedy, but it ultimately deals with overcoming fear and loss. Willa is about a young girl returning to the United States after having lived her whole life on military bases overseas. It is a discovery of a home she has never seen, and the realization that she can build the world she wants to live in.

A theoretical method is derived for computing the motions and hydrodynamic loads during water landings of prismatic bodies involving appreciable immersion of the chines. A simplified method of computation covering flat-plate and V-bottom bodies with beam-loading coefficients greater than unity is given as a separate section. Comparisons of theory with experiment are presented as plots of impact lift coefficient and maximum draft-beam ratio against flight-path angle and as time histories of loads and motions. Fair agreement is found to exist for chine-immersed landings for angles of dead rise of 0 degrees and 30 degrees, beam-loading coefficients from 1 to 36.5, flight-path angles from 2 to 90 degrees, and trims from 6 to 45 degrees.
