A spirited woman survives the sinking of the Titanic only to find herself embroiled in the tumultuous aftermath of that great tragedy. Tess is one of the last people to escape into a lifeboat. When an enterprising reporter turns her employer, Lady Duff Gordon, into an object of scorn, Tess is torn between loyalty and the truth.

Titanic fans look out submitted by hcf on July 1, 2012, 6:06pm As a huge Titanic fan, I did enjoy this story. I am always interested in stories about the doomed liner and her passengers.
All right submitted by KOH on August 2, 2017, 10:35pm The plot itself entertains, but the writing is so full of cliches that it's distracting. Just a wee too bit on the cheesy side for me.
