Heartbroken Bess Morgan sets sail for a new life in New Zealand in the cramped steerage quarters of the emigrant vessel, Wanganui. Amidst the hardships of the three month voyage she finds an unexpected connection with reserved and wealthy first-class passenger Henry Talbot. Bess discovers friendship, laughter, as well as snobbery and disdain from her fellow passengers.

Aboard a crowded ship crossing half the world, secrets and whispers travel fast. As fire threaten, storms break, and loyalties are tested, Bess and Henry are forced to confront rigid class divides and the ghosts of their pasts. They must decide if they are brave enough to risk their hearts for a new life.

From the hills of Wales to the bustle of the London's East End docks and across the endless sweep of the southern oceans, Across the Silver Seas is a slow burn romantic historical novel about courage, hope, and taking chances to begin again.
