The Stranger in the Lifeboat

Looking for a feel good mystery with a message? A group of shipwrecked passengers pull a strange man from the sea. What would happen if we called on God for help and He appeared? A compelling novel that makes you ponder your deepest beliefs, and shows that answers to our prayers may be found where we least expect them. Harwinton Library Staff Member
