Madeleine is beautiful, intelligent, and solidly upper-class, but the Astors are in a league apart. Jacks mother was the Mrs. Astor, American royalty and New Yorks most formidable socialite. Jack is dashing and industrious-a hero of the Spanish-American war, an inventor, and a canny businessman. Despite their twenty-nine-year age difference, and the scandal of Jacks recent divorce, Madeleine falls headlong into love-and becomes the presss favorite target.On their extended honeymoon in Egypt, the newlyweds finally find a measure of peace from photographers and journalists. Madeleine feels truly alive for the first time-and is happily pregnant. The couple plans to return home in the spring of 1912, aboard an opulent new ocean liner. When the ship hits an iceberg close to midnight on April 14th, there is no immediate panic. The swift, state-of-the-art RMS Titanic seems unsinkable. As Jack helps Madeleine into a lifeboat, he assures her that hell see her soon in New York...Four months later, at the Astors Fifth Avenue mansion, a widowed Madeleine gives birth to their son. In the wake of the disaster, the press has elevated her to the status of virtuous, tragic heroine. But Madeleines most important decision still lies ahead- whether to accept the role assigned to her, or carve out her own remarkable path..."A touching, compelling, and haunting love story that will delight fans of historical fiction and enthrall those of us for whom the Titanic will always fascinate." -Hazel Gaynor, New York Times bestselling author of When We Were Young and Brave"An engaging novel told with both heartbreaking care and vivid detail.
