Shipwrecked Faith - Paperback

by Danielle Grandinetti (Author)

Chicago, October 1929-Kellan O'Roark is running on borrowed time. After handing over his cousin's incriminating bootlegging ledger to the police, he intends to vanish before the mobster exacts revenge. His destination: the SS Wisconsin, a steamer headed for Milwaukee, upon which he's secured work despite his fear of the water.

But despite his pressing need for escape, Kellan faces obstacles while leaving Chicago-including one who may break open his heart. Sadie Dawning, desperate to return to her family's Wisconsin farm and ailing father, escapes a kidnapping attempt at Chicago Union Station when Kellan steps in and offers to smuggle her aboard the Wisconsin. His decision turns nearly fatal when an autumn storm capsizes the ship.

Washed ashore, the pair arrive at Sadie's family farm to find new storms brewing on land. While Kellan hides his past to continue evading his cousin, Sadie fights for her place among her sisters while the farm battles the beginnings of the Great Depression. Caught between duty, a dangerous past, and a budding love, Kellan and Sadie must rely on their newfound faith in each other and renewed faith in God to weather the growing storm.
