Overview

On April 15, 1912, Lydia Beaumont is on her way to a new life witha boundless hope in love and faith. Her new friendship with Caroline Chadwick is bonded even more as they plan Lydia’s wedding on board the “grandest ship ever built.” Then both women suffer tragic losses when the “unsinkable” Titanic goes down. Can each survive the scars the disaster left on their lives?

Decades later, Alan Morris feels like a failure until he discovers he is the descendant of an acclaimed, successful, heroic novelist who went down with the Titanic. Will he find his identity with the past, or will he listen to Joanna Bettencourt, Caroline’s granddaughter, who says inner peace and success come only with a personal relationship with the Lord?

Will those who survived and their descendants be able to find a love more powerful than their pain?

Aboard the Titanic, friends Lydia Beaumont and Caroline Chadwick are planning Lydia's wedding when tragedy strikes. Can the women rebuild their lives after the terrible losses they suffer? Decades later, Alan Morris, a troubled descendant of a novelist who perished that night, meets Caroline's granddaughter, Joanna Bettencourt. Joanna tries to convince him that he will not find peace by searching the past but by developing a meaningful relationship with the Creator. VERDICT Lehman is known for her inspirational romances (Carolina; South Carolina; Aloha, Love), and her fans will be looking for a historical romance here. But the contemporary story is much more intriguing than Lehman's lackluster retelling of a familiar historical event. For a fresher and more dramatic take, Titanic buffs should pick up Cathy Gohlke's Promise Me This.
