By the light of the silvery moon by Tricia Goyer 4/5
Amalia travels with the Titanic with her aunt to start a new life in America. A life perhaps, with the man she has been corresponding with and who is waiting for her on the other side of the ocean. But when boarding, Amalia sees a stowaway being dragged from board. Kindhearted, she offers him her spare ticket. During the trip she gets to know the man, Quentin Wallpole and finds out there's much more to him than meets the eye.

After two disappointing Tricia Goyer reads, I decided to give her another try. No disappointment this time around, I really liked By the light of the silvery moon. It's a retelling of the Prodigal Son parable from the Bible which gives you new appreciation and understanding of this well-known story. Plus it plays against the fascinating background of the Titanic's doomed maiden voyage.
