A poignant story based on fact. 14 immigrants from Addergoole Ireland make the leap of faith to journey to America on board the ship of dreams, the Titanic. I read a lot of factual Titanic books but this one touched my heart. Many books concentrate on its destruction, but this one made you feel as one of the desperate people waiting on the dock in New York straining to see the Carpathia berth with so few survivors, hoping that one of them is your loved one. Written with charm, hope and courage that honors the lives of those who sought out America as their future, knowing they would most likely never return to their homeland but had the misfortune of having a ticket for the Titanic.
