Adrift in a raft after their ship sinks, nine strangers pray for rescue. After three days, short on water, food and hope, they spot a man floating in the waves. They pull him on board - and the stranger claims he can save them in turn, but it will require a huge act of faith. But should they put their trust in this new stranger? Why did the ship really sink? And will any of them see home again? The Stranger in the Lifeboat is a deeply moving, compelling novel about the power of love and hope in the face of danger, as well as a mystery that will keep you guessing to the very end.
