By the Light of the Silvery Moon by Tricia Goyer

About the Book:

Amelia Gladstone's hopes are tied up in the Titanic--hopes for a reunion with her sister and an introduction to an admirer. But when she offers a spare ticket to a down-and-out young man, her fate is about to change.

Quentin Walpole is stunned when a sweet lady secures his passage to America--and even more surprised to find his wealthy father and older brother on board the ship. Suddenly Amelia finds herself caught between the attentions of two men, but who should she entrust her heart to? As the fateful night arrives, will Amelia lose everything to the icy waters?

My Review:

There is something about the Titanic that draws many of us back to that time and that fateful night. For many back then the Titanic held dreams and hopes for its many travelers. While this story is fictional the story still portrays the what it must have been like to be on the Titanic. Tricia Goyer does a fantastic job at making you feel like you are walking the halls of such a beautiful ship. I loved Amelia Gladston, her caring and tender heart sets her apart. She would much rather help others than help herself and that is demonstrated through out the book. Quentin is another great character who has a lot of growing to do. I loved how Tricia Goyer weaves in faith and re tales a popular bible story also.

I would recommend this book to everyone who loves a good romance, the Titanic, unforgettable characters and so much more. I know I loved it and will be reading more from Tricia Goyer in the future. Final rating 4.5 out of 5 stars!

  24. This sounds like a delightful book and your review is very good. I've never read Ms. Goyer's work so this would be a nice opportunity should I win the book. After reading, I'd most likely donate it to our school's library.
