This story takes place on the Titanic about a young woman who is travelling across the ocean to meet a man she has been writing letters with for a while. He has paid for her passage, her aunt's passage, and a cousin of hers who can't come along with them. She decides to give her extra ticket to a disheveled man who was trying to sneak on the ship.

This story also is a more modern telling of The Prodigal Son from The Bible. Quentin has been going through a lot of issues and his high class father and brother have been looking for him, but he is too ashamed to see them after how he has ruined his father's inheritance.

This is a beautiful love story about trusting in God and seeking to forgive yourself and others for the pain felt from past mistakes. It is about helping others and not judging people poorly, but encouraging them towards doing right.
