About the book:

Amelia Gladstone's hopes are tied up in the Titanic--hopes for a reunion with her sister and an introduction to an admirer. But when she offers a spare ticket to a down-and-out young man, her fate is about to change.

Quentin Walpole is stunned when a sweet lady secures his passage to America--and even more surprised to find his wealthy father and older brother on board the ship. Suddenly Amelia finds herself caught between the attentions of two men, but who should she entrust her heart to? As the fateful night arrives, will Amelia lose everything to the icy waters?

My Thoughts:

Get ready to climb aboard one of the most beautiful boats ever built - the legendary Titanic. Tricia Goyer takes the reader back in time to that fateful trip that will always be in the minds and hearts of people all over the world and she brings it to life through the eyes of Amelia Gladstone.

For me, this was a bittersweet story, because it centered around the Titanic, so one already knows what will take place. So many times I was involved in the lives of the characters, and kept thinking about the hopes and dreams of all the people aboard, and finding sadness sweep over me because of the Titanic's fate.

This is an amazing and well written story. Tricia's descriptions of the ship and events were well done and appear to be well researched. Just in time to mark the 100th Anniversary of the Titanic, this book is a must read for everyone!
