Good but not for young kids submitted by ejmarcash on August 22, 2012, 9:57pm I thought my son would like this book after we had seen the Titanic exhibit at the Henry Ford Museum. And, he was interested. However, I found myself skipping over details when the ship was sinking into the water. I found the last page, which is a short biography of Ruth Becker, fascinating. It is not surprising that she suppressed the memories of the horrific experience until she was much older.
