PRAISE FOR SHIP OF DREAMS‘Alward’s inviting prose and keen eye for historical detail spotlights two indefatigable women … it will compel readers of Jennifer Robson and Hazel Gaynor while delighting old and new fans alike.’ Rachel McMillan, bestselling author of The Mozart Code and the London Restoration'The real pleasure of the novel is the tension between best friends Hannah and Louisa, each with a secret they fear to share, and which is keeping them apart. We all know the fate of the Titanic, but it’s the fate of this friendship that kept me turning the pages. Terrific character development and perfect pacing.' Janie Chang, Globe and Mail bestselling author of THE PORCELAIN MOON'Donna Jones Alward masterfully weaves together themes of loyalty, feminism and profound grief to portray a deeply moving portrait of a friendship tested by tragedy. Add in secrets, intrigue and the threat we all know is hovering on the horizon, and you get this must-read story that will keep readers flipping the pages until the very last one.'

“Ship of Dreams” was an excellent title.

"This is a book that I did not want to put it down. Two friends who were close for many years are sailing on the Titanic. They have different characters but are there for each other until Lou does something illegal and Hannah cannot accept what she has done. Knowing that the Titanic will be hitting an ice berg, the book continues to be a great read."

You can often find her near the water, either kayaking on the lake or walking the sandy beaches to refill her creative well.Website: www.donnajonesalward.comFB: www.facebook.com/DonnaAlwardAuthorInstagram: @donnaalward
