Amazing Read

This book was an amazing journey. The emotions that were evoked through each chapter, went from highs to lows. Knowing the story of the Titanic but now knowing about the tragic events of John Jacob Astor and his wife Madeline Force Astor. My heart ached for her and had wished she had a better outcome in life. I highly recommend this book and I am so glad that I read it.

Beautiful word smith throughout the book, amazing story.

This book is very well written doing a fabulous job of taking the reader to the events in a way that feels like you are actually there. The writing is impeccable. The story is beautiful.
