The Girl Who Came Home: A Novel of the Titanic (P.S.)

Inspired by true events, this novel tells the story of Irish emigrants aboard RMS Titanic, blending fact and fiction to explore the tragedy's impact on survivors and their descendants. In 1912, fourteen members of a small Irish village board the Titanic, seeking a better life in America. For seventeen-year-old Maggie Murphy, the journey is bittersweet—her future lies in an unknown new place, but her heart remains in Ireland with Séamus, her sweetheart. When disaster strikes, Maggie is among the few steerage passengers who survive. Waking alone in a New York hospital, she vows never to speak of that terrible night again. In 1982 Chicago, Grace Butler struggles with direction following her father's death. When her Great Nana Maggie reveals a painful family secret about the Titanic that she has kept for nearly a lifetime, the revelation gives Grace new direction. Through this dual timeline story, the revelation leads both women to unexpected reunions with those they believed were lost.
