A voyage across the ocean becomes the odyssey of a lifetime for
a young Irish woman. . . .
Ireland, 1912 . . .
Fourteen members of a small village set sail on RMS Titanic,
hoping to find a better life in America. For seventeen-year-old
Maggie Murphy, the journey is bittersweet. Though her future lies
in an unknown new place, her heart remains in Ireland with Seamus,
the sweetheart she left behind. When disaster strikes, Maggie is
one of the few passengers in steerage to survive. Waking up alone
in a New York hospital, she vows never to speak of the terror and
panic of that fateful night again.
Chicago, 1982 . . .
Adrift after the death of her father, Grace Butler struggles to
decide what comes next. When her great-grandmother Maggie shares
the painful secret about Titanic that she's harbored for almost a
lifetime, the revelation gives Grace new direction--and leads both
her and Maggie to unexpected reunions with those they thought lost
long ago.
Inspired by true events, The Girl Who Came Home poignantly
blends fact and fiction to explore the Titanic tragedy's impact and
its lasting repercussions on survivors and their descendants.
