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.

About the Author of Shipwrecked Faith
My Thoughts on Shipwrecked Faith
Shipwrecked Faith is a wonderful historical fiction novel that you’re not going to want to miss reading and enjoying. The year is 1929, and the Great Depression is just starting. Kellan turns the evidence on his cousin (mob and bootlegging), but now he’s on the run from said cousin and trying to disappear so he stays alive.
And then we meet Sadie, who is trying to get back to her family’s farm. She’s almost kidnapped, and then Kellan smuggles her onto a ship. But the ships get sunk in a storm, and they both wash to shore. Finally, they make it to her family farm!
You might think that’s the end of the novel.
But no! It’s just beginning.
This book moves very quickly. You’ve got danger and daring, but you’ve also got strong Christian faith and relying on God, plus some romance. It’s the epitome of novels because you get a bit of each genre, plus a solid historical fiction section as well. I really love this author for her historical fiction. You can tell she puts the time and effort into making her books fit the timeframe she’s writing in, whether it’s the clothes or the language, or just the actual facts.
I love the Irish immigrant storyline. My family is mostly Irish, and I’m only a second-generation American citizen on one side, so it’s fun to read about others. Our immigration story came during WWII as my gran was a war bride, but this took place before that!
