BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Titanic was a white ship–once. Now? Rock the boat.
It’s 1912, the era of Jim Crow and lynchings, and a young society woman learns that her grandfather, the grandfather she barely knows, may be passing for white.
She has a family. She has a child. She can’t be black. She doesn’t know how.
She follows him onto the newest, safest, biggest ship in the world to find a truth she can live with.
But after the iceberg, she has to find the truth from his whole family. And it’s more complicated than black and white. More loving, more inspiring…and far more dangerous.
REVIEW:
The Titanic is the ship of dreams but the irony is if it had never sunk most would not even know the name. And certainly only been a footnote as being the biggest ship of it’s time a century later. But because the ship did sink the world still stays entranced by it.
So here is the thing. Do not take this as fact of events on the Titanic. This is a story of the time that just happens to be set on the Titanic. A story of racism and family drama.
Reading other reviews it seems that Sarah Smith has written other books with these characters but nothing is missed by not having read the other books. You do not need to be a fan of the Titanic’s story but it helps.

I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
