The Deepest Waters
by:  Dan Walsh

For John and Laura Foster, what began as a fairytale honeymoon in 1857 aboard the steamship SS Vandervere soon becomes a nightmare. A terrible hurricane strikes and the grand ship is lost in the murky depths of the Atlantic. Laura finds herself rescued with the other women and children, but how can she feel anything but despondent without her groom? Suspecting her John is gone but still daring to hope for a miracle, Laura must face the possibility of life alone.

Talented author Dan Walsh skillfully tells an epic story of hope, faith, and love through an intimate lens. Inspired by real events, this emotional and honest story will capture your heart as you sail through its pages.


My Review:  I have always been a fan of Dan Walsh's books.  He captures the emotions of the characters in a very appealing manner.  I appreciated the historical aspects of this story, particularly the factual details that he tries to mirror in this work of fiction.  I found those details to be very fascinating as it proves that sometimes life is stranger than fiction.   This was another good read!
