Endlessly fascinated with all things Titanic, I simply could not put this book down. Gaynor highlights some lesser known experiences of Titanic's survivors, including the fates of the Addergoole Fourteen, and the family and friends of those left behind with captivating detail and gifted storytelling. The telegrams are authentic touches, and the fictional letters and journal entries make it a fast read. Sure this is one of the many tales that recounts the maritime disaster, and I've seen the movie more times than I can remember. Still, The Girl Who Came Home touched my heart and underscored the wisdom of treasuring the life that I have.
