1857 – At Sea/New York
It’s September 1857. While on their honeymoon, John and Laura Foster are separated by a shipwreck. Their beautiful steamship, the SS Vandervere, has collided with a fierce hurricane and is damaged beyond repair. Just before she goes down, an old wooden ship comes to their rescue. But it only has room to take the women and children aboard. The couple is pulled apart, weeping, certain they will never see each other again. Laura sails off alone to New York, aboard a ship full of grieving widows and orphans, to face a family she has never met. Inspired by a true story, The Deepest Waters weaves a tale full of action and suspense, and yet it is also an amazing love story that could only happen if miracles do come true.
