About

It was the biggest, most lavish man-made object on the face of the planet; it was the ship of dreams, and the highest achievement of the Industrial Age. It was the Titanic, and its maiden voyage would be a voyage of crisis and discovery for one young boy, Sumner Jordan. Sumner, the son of a leading suffragist and himself a would-be bohemian, is rewarded for his precocious erudition with a dream trip to England. During his return he falls in love, for the first time, with a beautiful young woman and with the grandeur of the Titanic. Through vividly colorful prose, we experience his harrowing escape, as well as the moral issues raised for him over the policy of "Women and children first." Sumner must additionally confront exactly who he is...and who he is to be.
