Souls Adrift

A sea story, a ghost story, a love story, SOULS ADRIFT is a historical novel of love, loss, and suspense.

One chilly October day in 1873, three lonely people with very different pasts leave fire-devastated Chicago on board a Great Lakes steamship…to find a better life. 

Maribeth Eaton escaped the suffocating expectations of her wealthy British family to find purpose in America, and though things haven’t worked out as planned, one last chance for success and happiness awaits at the end of this voyage.

Tennessean Atticus Miles, scarred body and soul by the Civil War and the loss of his wife and children to cholera, seeks to forget everything and bury himself in hard work as the ship’s first mate.

Kristi Joensdatter, a nine-year-old orphaned Norwegian immigrant, is scared and alone, but she begins to feel safe and cared for when Maribeth and Atticus take her under their wings. 

As love binds the travelers together, all good things seem possible—until strange goings-on threaten their happiness. Unnatural phenomena, troubling visions, disembodied voices, and inexplicable deaths.

Suddenly this voyage to a better life looks like one they might not survive.

For fans of cozy horror, this gripping tale of shipwreck action and supernatural chills will keep you turning the page until the very last line.
