When Hope Sank ~ A Day to Remember #3 (by Denise Weimer)

I absolutely love reading historical fiction books. And this new series is a very different aspect of that genre. Focused on American disasters that “transformed landscapes and multiple lives,” they each bring to life a different tragedy. While part of a series, you can read each one as a standalone. The faith aspect is an excellent addition to the storyline. I learned a lot about a different facet of the Civil War. The characters are well developed and you will find yourself invested in the story and the lives of those affected by this particular disaster. There is a taste of romance, but it is not too syrupy and the drama and focus on how the country was still divided even after the South “surrendered” was interesting. Showing hope and faith can help the characters overcome deception and betrayal made it a book that will stay with me long after I have absorbed the last word on the last page and closed the book with a sign. This is definitely a series you will want to put on your to-be-read list.
