Ship of Dreams
Welcome to Ship of Dreams by Donna Jones Alward book tour hosted by Suzy Approved Book Tours.
About Ship of Dreams
Aboard the Titanic, where opulence knows no bounds and the horizon seems limitless, two women fight for the futures they dream of, fraught with secrets that could change everything.
Hannah Martin is clinging to the hope that six days on this grand ship will heal the wounds in her marriage to Charles. Beneath her poised exterior lies a desperation to mend what was shattered and conceal a secret that could upend their lives forever.
Louisa Phillips, spirited and uncompromising, is escaping her family’s insistence on a passionless marriage. But this daring step could also sever the deepest bond in her life.
As the ‘unsinkable’ ship strikes the iceberg, amidst the chaos and icy waters, lives are changed forever. In the face of impending doom, what dreams will Hannah and Lou decide are worth saving, and at what cost?

Review for Ship of Dreams
Ship of Dreams takes us aboard the Titanic with Hannah and Louisa—two women carrying secrets, chasing hope, and finding an unexpected friendship. The writing brings the ship’s glamour and looming tragedy to life, while the characters’ struggles and bond make the story heartfelt and unforgettable. It’s a mix of history, drama, and emotion that will break your heart and piece it back together. It was fun learning about others on the ship: authors, dress designers, and socialites, as Lou and Hannah interacted with them. Perfect for fans of historical and women’s fiction!
The historical details about Halifax were spot on. I’ve been to the maritime museum and even the cemetery where over a hundred souls were buried, all with the same date of death.
