About this listen

The instant number one New York Times best seller

The stunning new novel from the best-selling author of global phenomenon Tuesdays with Morrie.

Adrift in a raft after a terrible shipwreck, 10 strangers struggle to survive while they wait 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 survivor claims he can save them.

But should they put their trust in him?

Will any of them see home again?

And why did the ship really sink?

The Stranger in the Lifeboat is not only a deeply moving novel about the power of love and hope in the face of danger but also a mystery that will keep you guessing to the very end.

You can't go wrong with a Mitch Albom book. They never fail to connect and delve into deep topics. Despite not believing in God myself, his books always leave me feeling a sense of spiritual calm and happiness. This was one of my faves
