Passage on the Titanic

the long version

Forced from a life of safety and abundance to one of scarcity and fear, clinging to survival on the filthy streets of London, betrayed by her only friend and burdened by an ill-fated pregnancy, Ella Brown arrives at the hospital where she meets Mormon midwife Irene Corbett. Irene soothes Ella's pain as she births a son, who lives only minutes, helps her back on her feet, and joins her on a voyage to America on the ship Titanic--where epic disaster rips the two friends apart. Bereaved and alone, Ella finds comfort and healing in the care of rescue crewman Jonathan Moreau and his loving family. But will the dark weight of Ella's past destroy her delicate hopes for the future?
