About the Book



Relive Thursday, April 27, 1865, on the Mississippi River when the steamboat Sultana, overloaded with soldiers, explodes. Will the disaster steal a young woman's hope?



Book Synopsis



Can Hope Resurface After Evil Tries to Drown It?

Introducing a series of 6 exciting novels featuring historic American disasters that transformed landscapes and multiple lives. Whether by nature or by man, these disasters changed history and were a day to be remembered.

The Civil War has taken everything from Lily Livingston--her parents, her twin brother, her home. Now she works at her uncle's inn and keeps her head down. Speaking up for her beliefs proved too costly in a part of Arkansas split by conflicting loyalties and overrun by spies and bushwhackers.

Emaciated in body but resilient in spirit, Lieutenant Cade Palmer is crowded onto the Sultana with other paroled Andersonville and Cahaba POWs for the journey north. But a fiery explosion on April 27, 1865, rends the steamer and empties two thousand men into the frigid Mississippi River.

Recovering from wounds that might end his career as a surgeon but clinging to his faith, Cade threatens both Lily's defenses and her heart. How can she tell him she might've prevented the tragedy if only she'd reported a suspected saboteur's claims? And when the man returns to town and encoded messages pass through the hotel, will Lily follow her convictions to prevent another tragedy?

If you love reading a historical novel that is well researched and brings to light obscure incidents from the past then make sure you read this. I have never read anything about the sinking of the Sultana in 1865 and all the men that perished. This story makes you feel like you are watching as it is brought to life so realistically. When you weave into the facts fictional characters that grab your attention because it is done so flawlessly then you have an engaging story that you won’t want to put down. Lily pulled on my heartstrings from the beginning and her selfless caring of others is commendable. Cade is learning to listen to God’s voice as he struggles to recover. Grab a tissue and sit back and enjoy as their lives intertwine. I’m really enjoying these novels in the A Day To Remember series. Each one is a standalone but shed light on a historical event. I received a complimentary copy from CelebrateLit. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.

I am truly enjoying Barbour Publishing's A Day to Remember series, and hope that it will include many titles. When Hope Sank is the third book in the series and is built around the true historical event of the sinking of the steamboat Sultana in 1865. The steamboat was carrying 2,130 souls of which 1,169 did not survive, many Union prisoners of war just paroled from Andersonville and Cahaba, heading home to relish their freedom. Weimer writes an intriguing tale of saboteurs, spies, and betrayal along with stories of hope, love, and restoration. As was the case with many families during the Civil War, Lily's family is one of divided allegiances, forcing her to make compromises in order to keep a roof over her and her younger brother's heads. Cade Palmer, one of the Sultana's survivors, is a conflicted man, made more so because his injuries make it impossible for him to provide the medical care so needed by his fellow survivors recuperating at Lily's uncle's inn. Forced together by circumstances far beyond their control, the two discover a growing bond in their collective efforts to discover the truth behind the sinking of the Sultana. Readers will enjoy collecting clues and making inferences along with Lily and Cade. I enjoyed this book very much and am grateful to have received a complimentary copy from Barbour Publishing via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.

Great Historical Romance

When Hope Sank is the third book in Barbour’s fantastic multi-author A Day to Remember series. This compelling fictional historical romance story recounts the April 27, 1865, sinking of the Sultana, a commercial steamboat transporting over two thousand former Union prisoners back home after the Civil War, and the aftermath for one of its survivors Cade Palmer and Lily Livingston, a resident of a small Arkansas town, who helped rescued him. I love the way their unlikely romantic relationship develops. The well-structured plot flows smoothly at a fitting pace. The characters are engaging and true-to-life. Intriguing suspense, authentic history, a hope-filled faith thread, and a bit of romance combine to make a poignant, satisfying read. I highly recommend this book and the series! Note: Each book in the series is a standalone and can be read in any order. I received a copy of this book from Barbour Publishing via NetGalley with no obligation to write a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

1865 The war is over - but is it really? Just because the powers that be decided the North won, did not mean those in the South were ready to give up. Prisoners were returning home - most of them very different from when they left. The scars were not all visible, and hopefully the tragedy of war would slowly fade. For some, their faith had suffered a great blow - would it ever be the same again? When tragedy struck the Sultana with so many POW’s on board, those involved began to wonder if good would ever have victory over evil. Was it an accident or sabotage? There certainly were plenty of folk that weren’t sad about the carnage left behind. Was it possible for those who had lost much to show love instead of hate? A copy was received through Barbour Publishing and NetGalley. These impressions are my own and were in no way solicited.
