April 1912 - Disaster Strikes.
Ship of Dreams by Martina Devlin is a gripping read inspired by
the turn of events following one of the world’s most horrific
tragedies, the sinking of the Titanic.
A small group of survivors meet on one of the Titanic's
lifeboats, saved from death by random chance. Drawn from
different nationalities and walks of life, they have only one
factor in common: all have survived a tragedy that captures the
world’s imagination.
This thread binds them together when they are rescued and taken
to New York. Nancy Armstrong, 18 years old, pregnant and newly
widowed, can she maintain her status in New York society without
her husband’s connections and wealth? Bridie Ryan, penniless
but determined: can the American dream come true for her? And
Hannah O’Brien, also pregnant, can she build a life for herself
and her American child to be?
Then there is Louis Stubel, the French gentleman’s secretary
with ambitions to better himself; US Cavalry officer Major
Richmnd Hudson, convinced his dead wife intervened to rescue him;
and English teacher Edmund Newton who was plucked from the sea by
the Irish girls.
From the factory floor to film premieres, from tenements to
townhouses and from impoverished rural Ireland to the upper
echelons of New York society; all who survive the Titanic are
buoyed together, struggling to keep their dreams afloat. They
cheated death - and life would never be the same.
