Description
"Find Polaris"
When the SS Titanic set sail, Captain Edward John Smith became a legend – and when tragedy struck he was a hero to some, reckless to others. But in the shadow of his infamy stood his daughter, left behind on the shore with nothing but whispers, rumors and the ache of unanswered questions.
For Helen Melville 'Mel' Smith, Titanic was not just a shipwreck but a fracture that split her life in two. In every newspaper clipping, every account of that fateful night, Mel searched for the man she truly knew – the father who told her to find Polaris, the star that never moves.
Spanning the years after the disaster, this is the untold story of the girl history forgot – the daughter who carried the weight of a tragedy the world claimed as its own.
Daughter of the Titanic is a moving reimagining of loss, legacy and the fragile truth between memory and myth.

I just finished reading Daughter of the Titanic and I am in bits! It's so poignant, beautiful, sad, hopeful, inspiring... It perfectly expresses how I feel about the losses and grief I carry. "Widows, daughters, mothers - we were symbols long before we were people. If we remarried, we were heartless. If we struggled, we were haunted. If we coped, we were miracles."
7 out of 5 ⭐️ One of the beautiful books I have ever read.
