Wave by Wave: A Memoir of Survival, Faith, and How God Works

This true story takes the reader into the heart of a rare and deadly storm on Lake Huron, where four exceptional young people fight for their lives against the elements. Their tale is unimaginable and tragic. But it doesn't end with tragedy. You see, the storm is only half the story. What happened after the storm cell cleared is just as profound.Told by survivor Cheryl Steele Tinsley, the tone of this book is unique. It's not a particularly polished book of prose. Rather, the natural voicing of this book feels like sitting down with Cheryl as she speaks one-on-one with you personally. It feels more like hearing this story from a friend who was there rather than reading a newspaper account. This style serves to bring the reader right into the storm and the aftermath.This inspirational story is full of hope, wonder, trust, faith, and miracles.

Cheryl Steele Tinsley is my aunt, and I’ve had the great pleasure of hearing her incredible story for many years. To be able to finally read it is awesome!! It’s very well-written and gives a great representation of faith, hope, and God’s love. My favorite part about the book is how conversational it is. When I’m reading it, it feels like she’s right in front of me. Wonderful lady with a soul shaking story! 10/10 do recommend!! ❤️

Such a wonderful testimony of how God works.

This thoughtfully written book flowed beautifully from one chapter to the next as it lured me to the storm to come. However, the story did not end when I expected but rather incited a victorious string of “beginnings”.This book has offered me insight on living well and dying as well. It was therapeutic as I couldn’t quite grapple how to keep living and move on as my Mom passed. Now I see, my Mom’s work was done here on Earth but her passing has spurred on such beauty and is the beginning of many more stories of God’s goodness.

This book is amazing and wonderfully written. I could not put it down once I started reading. So Spiritual. I cried and I laughed. I can not say enough about this book. So good for someone who needs to hear what God can do. So good for someone who is grieving. Great example of holding on to our faith and trusting God!!

This book is a beautiful reminder of how God takes care of his children. It also helps others to understand why certain tragedies occur. Even when we ask God why..he knows what he is doing. Beautifully written and will touch your heart. Buy the book! You’ll be glad you did! It was a quick easy read and kept me turning pages.

Wow…. Just wow…. I received this book in the mail today. I got off work at 5 and started reading. Wow just wow. Your testimony is powerful. And yes I have completely finished the book in one sitting. I laughed, I cried, and I praised God for your survival and your story.

Loved this book, has intense moments and shows you just what God can do for you if only you search Him out and Believed with all your heart. Shows her Faith and she truly lives her life like this. Awesome book.
