Description

The Second Mrs. Astor: A Heartbreaking Historical Novel of the Titanic A beautifully written novel that will stay with you long after finishing the last page, this riveting tale takes you inside the scandalous courtship and catastrophic honeymoon aboard the ill-fated ship of one of America's most famous couples. At seventeen, Madeleine Talmage Force is swept off her feet by John Jacob Astor, a man twenty-nine years her senior with a reputation for heroism and industry. Despite their age difference and the scandal of his recent divorce, they fall deeply in love, and their extended honeymoon in Egypt brings them a measure of peace from the prying eyes of photographers and journalists. But when the RMS Titanic sets sail on its doomed maiden voyage in 1912, disaster strikes, changing the course of their lives forever.
