The Dressmaker
by Kate Alcott
If you love anything that involves the Titanic, you will love this!
From the back of the book:
Tess, an aspiring
seamstress, thinks she’s had an incredibly lucky break when she is
hired by famous designer Lady Lucile Duff Gordon to be her personal maid
on the Titanic. Once on board, Tess catches the eye of two men—a
kind sailor and an enigmatic Chicago businessman—who offer differing
views of what lies ahead for her in America. But on the fourth night,
disaster strikes, and amidst the chaos, Tess is one of the last people
allowed on a lifeboat.
The survivors are rescued and taken to New York, but when rumors begin
to circulate about the choices they made, Tess is forced to confront a
serious question. Did Lady Duff Gordon save herself at the expense of
others? Torn between loyalty to Lucile and her growing suspicion that
the media’s charges might be true, Tess must decide whether to stay
quiet and keep her fiery mentor’s good will or face what might be true
and forever change her future.
