This is my second book I have read from An American Tapestries. As a person who loves history~ I love taking a journey abroad the Titanic. A little history~ a little suspense and a little romance grace the pages of this book and I could not put it down.
Lady Jacqueline is told by her father that she was being arranged to marry Roland~ a wealthy business man. She is not only stunned by this bit of information but she is in love with the gardener. Her father would be livid if he knew. He mother is on her side about arranged marriages and decides to send her to America to escape marriage. Only she wants to stay behind with the gardener~ Peter. So she schemes to find a young poor girl named Tessa to take her place going aboard the Titanic.
As history goes we all know there is no happy ending here but I so enjoyed walking through the history of the voyage~ it made me feel as though I were living through it myself. I was pleasantly happy with the ending of this story.
I highly recommend the books in An American Tapestry.
I was given this book in exchange for my honest review. I rate this book 5 stars.
