Deliverance

by R J Dent

A Victorian shipwreck transforms a mother’s love into a desperate fight for survival, forcing an unthinkable choice between morality and life.

Two survivors: Mary Sheldon and her infant son cling to the slick surface of an overturned lifeboat drifting on an unforgiving ocean.

As the days pass with no food or water, Mary watches her child grow weaker and feels her own mind fracturing from thirst and hunger. To save herself, she must do the unimaginable. To end her child’s suffering, she must face the darkest taboo.

In the quiet isolation of the deep ocean, the boundaries of human nature dissolve. Mary is forced to redefine what it means to survive – and what it means to be a mother.

Deliverance is a haunting Victorian psychological thriller which explores the absolute limits of endurance, maternal instinct, and the horrific costs of staying alive.
