Three years ago, Harris Wimberly lost the one who was to have been his love for life. His partner, his companion, his best friend, his lover. His wife. Now he wonders, through the loneliness, is it possible to love again? Is it possible, or even right to think about letting another woman into his life?
Across town, a widow is wondering the same thing. Now four years for her, Anna Forth considers not only her own loneliness, but that her thirteen-year-old son needs a father figure in his life.
“A Ship Called Abigail” delivers a rich, faith-filled romance that will appeal to fans of inspirational fiction. It’s a journey of discovery, resilience, and the enduring power of love, set against a beautifully crafted backdrop.
The author’s writing style is articulate and evocative, painting vivid pictures with his words. He has a knack for descriptive prose that transports the reader directly into the settings and emotional landscapes of the story. Whether depicting a moment of quiet contemplation or a turning point in the plot, the language is consistently engaging and polished.

Now he has a second chance. New love can be found after loss. But will this new woman in his life be willing to pick up the old dream with him? Especially if the flying machine has been named after his lost love.
Josias and Ann embark on what was to be a simple flight to Paris. They never reach Paris. Instead, a terrific and unusual storm over the Atlantic carries them far off their course.

The story contains important subplots – the story of an orphan named Matthew and the love between Harold and Hannah. The author weaves biblical themes such as adoption, love, second changes, and answered prayer throughout the book. The values and expressions are from another era that are desperately needed in today's dark world. Still, the Christian themes enhance the story.
