The Deepest Waters

by Dan Walsh
Hennepin County Library paperback 293 pages
genre: Christian historical fiction, romance

This book is reminiscent of Titanic, with the young lovers Laura and John torn apart when the ship goes down. On their honeymoon and traveling from the west coast to the east to meet John's family, Laura is rescued with the other women. Thinking that all the men died with the ship, Laura struggles to figure out what's next for her as she befriends Micah, a slave on the rescue ship, and a dastardly villain named Ayden Maul. Meanwhile, John and some of the other men are alive but floating on flotsam in the ocean.

We discussed this book last night. Many of us liked it although it was a fairly fluffy and predictable read. I liked Micah's faithfulness especially, and John's efforts on the high seas. The reconciliation with John's family wasn't very believable, but it was much better than last month's book!
