Description
Intrigue, romance, and scheming aboard the Titanic
This updated edition of the popular Richard Peck novel, available in time to commemorate the anniversary of the Titanic’s fateful voyage in 1912, starts with a chilling prophecy. When Miranda begins her position as maid-servant to the glamorous and selfish Amanda Whitwell, Amanda wastes no time in using Miranda to suit her own cruel purposes. Miranda becomes the lynchpin to a plot that Amanda devises to marry an American who can maintain her lavish lifestyle, but also keeps the rogue she loves close at hand. However, destiny intervenes, and they board the ill-fated Titanic. This story has all of the romance, glamour, intrigue, and tragedy of the Titanic but ends, satisfyingly, with redemption and forgiveness.
A Newbery Honor author presents a tale of love and fate on the “Titanic”, as a maidservant named Miranda finds she bears an uncanny resemblance to her rich and arrogant mistress, Amanda Whitewell. Thrust into a tangled web of lies by Amanda, Miranda watches helplessly as a prophecy once foretold becomes reality.
