Surviving Savannah - Opinion and Review

Surviving Savannah by Patti Callahan was a very highly-anticipated book on my list for this year, and I was lucky to be one of the first in line at my library to borrow it. It was the second book by Patti Callahan that I read, and like the first, it did not disappoint.

The book takes place both during present day and back in 1838 aboard (or not so much) The Savannah. Present day, Everly is asked to put together a museum showcasing the tragedy of The Savannah, a ship that had an explosion in the steam room, causing it to sink, and many aboard to perish. The book had the perfect mixture of history, and action. By the end of the book, you could really feel the emotions of the characters, both past and present, as they coped with the tragedy at hand. The descriptions Patti Callahan used to describe the settings were beautiful, and I really felt like I was there. I also LOVED the way that the characters all tied together by the end, making for a wonderful story through the decades.

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves Historical Fiction. I loved learning about something that I had never previously exposed myself to in the past! I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars.
