This was a wonderful book about love, courage, loss and resiliency.  It brings you deeper into the lives of a few men and, more than a few, extraordinary woman who found the courage and strength to do what needed to be done at a moment in time when most would be paralyzed with fear.I enjoyed becoming a part of the story and learning about relationships, friendships and love stories that I hadn't known about before now. When you learn of a story that was real, with people who really existed and are drawn into their lives, it brings a whole new level of understanding to stories of the sinking of the TITANIC.  These aren't characters in a movie, they are your mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, cousins and loved ones and they are you!  This isn't a story that happened 100 Yrs ago....for the people in this story it is happening now.I guess I enjoyed it so much because this is a new story, a real one and knowing that makes you feel the difference when reading about them. It only took about an hour or maybe less to read which is great if you don't have time to read "war and peace".  It may have been shorter than most novels but it packed a punch with every word.  Nothing was wasted, no long winded stories but you definitely don't feel cheated either. This is a full, rich story and it will teach you something you didn't know about this tragedy. It will also introduce you to real people that you won't forget easily.I'd recommend this book for everyone and any age. It's really a wonderful, sad but true story.
