Notes

Description
Tess, an aspiring seamstress, is stunned at her luck when the famous designer Lady Lucile Duff Gordon, hires her to be a personal maid on the Titanic's doomed voyage. On board, Tess meets a rough-hewn but kind sailor and an enigmatic Chicago businessman, and is intrigued by their differing views of what could lie ahead for her in America. On the fourth night of the voyage, disaster strikes. Tess is one of the last people amidst the chaos to escape into a lifeboat. Tess's sailor also survives, ordered into a sparsely filled boat commandeered by Lady Duff Gordon. Many others, including the gallant Midwestern tycoon, are not so lucky. The survivors are rescued and taken to New York. The U.S. inquiry into the sinking of the Titanic begins almost immediately, even as rumors begin to circulate about the survivors and the choices they made.
