"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil." I shivered, and for the first time since the day of the shipwreck, I felt profoundly afraid. We were doomed. This I knew for a certainty, or close to certainty, but still I looked to Hardie, outlined there in the...

This was not an enjoyable read probably one of the worst survival stories I've ever come across. The writing was hard to follow and filled with to many details that turned into dead ends that lead no where. For example Hardie's little secret box that just gets conveniently dropped over board into th...
I expected quite a bit more out of this book, to be honest. And strangely it never mentioned the Titanic, which I found very odd (though at the end it did mention the Lusitania). The plot itself was interesting, and I imagine the effects of being stuck in a lifeboat for so long were pretty accurate ...
I was convinced I'd be giving this book at least 4 stars until I got to the part where Grace talks about the trial. I'm always hesitant to say anything bad about a book because I truly appreciate the blood, sweat, and tears most authors put into their work, but... reading about the trial was so bori...
Ms. Rogan's debut novel is a reason why I love debut authors so much. This book had a fresh approach to a very tough story.The question. How do you survive at sea, in an overfilled lifeboat, after the ship you are on to start a new life in America, with your new husband, blows up? The answers aren't...
The author made me feel as though I was part of the drama and hardships that unfolded on the lifeboat. At times while reading this book I wondered what I would do in that situation. I'm sure the people on the lifeboat never thought that they would be capable of the things they needed to do to surv...
I am ambivalent about this book. I wanted to like it more than I did, and as it ended I enjoyed it a bit more than I had thus far. But the fact remains that it was not an easy book for me to get through – it did not grab me, despite being impeccably written. If I wasn’t so stubborn about seeing it t...
