I enjoyed revisiting Savannah through Callahan’s writing, but the end of the book felt a bit rushed. A good read overall.

Great research and character development. But even though I agree with the political viewpoint of the author, the book’s relentless, forced politics overwhelmed the characters and story, and extinguished my interest. It seems like she exploited the shipwreck for political purposes. Some readers may enjoy this, but I am not among them.

First time I have ever rated. Book could have been awesome. Everly‘s dead friend Mona seemed to be the focus yet exploring history in Savanna was the most fun. I had to fast forward several times when talk of Mona came in the picture again. It ties together but it’s Exhausting to wait for the good part.

It was a hard book to put down, a very well told historical fiction investigating the lives of the Savannah, Georgia survivors of a 200 year old shipwreck. Relating it to our present day lives added special interest.
