The Girl on the Titanic Book Talk

Join us for a book talk with local author Eileen Hodgetts. Eileen will talk about the last book in her Titanic trilogy The Girl on the Titanic. Books will be available for purchase at the event. 

About the book: 
Titanic passenger American heiress Sophie Paxton once dreamed of achieving Olympic glory with “Dick” Williams. The sinking of the Titanic shattered Sophie’s aspirations. Injuries from that icy night ended her own hopes of competing for an Olympic tennis championship, but they ignited a new fire within her—a burning need for revenge. Discovering from the senate hearings that another ship, the Californian, was close enough to rescue the Titanic's passengers but chose to ignore their cries for help, Sophie embarks on a relentless quest to expose the truth. With the reluctant assistance of Sam White, a reporter more interested in discovering the secrets of the Jekyll Island banking conspiracy, and John Alder, a determined senatorial aide, Sophie uncovers the identity of the Californian's captain: Stanley Lord. As she digs deeper, Sophie’s obsession with holding Lord accountable for her shattered life spirals out of control, blinding her to the danger she is bringing upon herself and those she loves.
