Overview
From the acclaimed author of The Girls of Ennismore comes a captivating and extraordinary tale of perseverance and bravery. This touching saga of sisterhoodāperfect for fans of Fiona Davis and Marie Benedictāfollows two young Irish women yearning for independence and adventure, as they set sail on RMS Titanicāthe āship of dreamsāāonly to be faced with the tragedy of that fabled maiden voyageā¦
Delia Sweeney has always been unlike her older sisterāfair and delicate compared to tall, statuesque Nora, whose hair is as dark as Donegal turf. In other ways too, the sisters are leagues apart. Nora is her motherās darling, favored at every turn, and expected to marry into wealth. Delia, constantly slighted, finds a measure of happiness helping her da on the farm. The rest of the time, she reads about far-off places that seem sure to remain a fantasy. Until the day a letter arrives from America . . .
A distant relative has provided the means for Delia and Nora to go to New York. Delia will be a lowly maid in a modest household, while Nora will be governess for a well-to-do family. In Queenstown, Cork, they board the Titanic, and any hope Delia carried that she and her sister might become closer during the trip soon vanishes. For there are far greater perils to contend with as the ship makes its way across the Atlantic . . .
In the wake of that fateful journey, Delia makes an impulsive choiceāand takes Noraās place as governess. Her decision sparks an adventure that leads her from Manhattanās Fifth Avenue to Dallas, Texas, where nearby oilfields bring unimagined riches to some, despair to others. Delia grows close to her vulnerable young charge, and to the girlās father. But her deception will have repercussions impossible to foresee, even as it brings happiness within reach for the first time . . .
