“I’ve written you a note, inside the pouch,” John yelled. “Don’t read it…unless you hear word that I – that I did not…” Tears poured down his cheeks. He looked away. “John!” she screamed. “I must go back…”
Award-wining author Dan Walsh brings a powerful love story reminiscent of the Titanic to readers. The Deepest Waters (ISBN: 978-0-8007-1980-7, April 2011, $14.99) is a masterpiece of historical fiction set in 1857 when newlyweds John and Laura Foster set sail on the SS Vandervere for their honeymoon. Soon, their fairytale becomes a nightmare when a hurricane causes the ship to sink into the depths of the Atlantic. John and Laura are separated not knowing if they will ever see each other again.
Walsh was inspired to write The Deepest Waters by the true story of the sinking of a paddle-wheel steamship laden with gold from San Francisco, California. The SS Central America, bound for New York City ran into a hurricane which sealed her fate around September 11, 1857.
Walsh takes readers on a journey through troubled waters as they discover the treasure hidden in The Deepest Waters, a story full of action and suspense. Through the Fosters, Walsh creates an amazing love story about what happens when miracles do come true.
ISLAND BREEZES
Oh, man! I really didn’t want this book to end. I totally enjoyed Mr. Walsh’s first two books, but this was something special.
Being a former sea person, I’m always drawn to books related to the sea and sailing. This one definitely did not disappoint me.
You’ll find lots of surprises here – not all of them are pleasant, but most of them are. Be prepared to read this book in one sitting. I had only planned on reading a chapter or two, but got sucked up into the story and just couldn’t put the book down.
I wanted the book to go on and on. I’m very attached to all these people now. Please, Mr. Walsh. Please keep the story going. Please don’t tell me I have to let the Fosters and Micah’s family disappear from my life.
By the way, you all may need to keep that box of tissues handy for this one.
