"SOS TITANIC TO ALL SHIPS. SINKING HEAD DOWN 41.46 N 50.14 W. COME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE"

North Atlantic Ocean, 1912. Kate Royston is a witness to history as the RMS Carpathia responds to the Titanic's desperate SOS. Kate plans to escape personal tragedy by fleeing to Europe but everything changes when the Carpathia races to save the Titanic's survivors.

Forced to return to New York, Kate abandons her hope of escape and becomes embroiled as a vital witness in the high profile Senate investigation of the disaster.

Fueled by public rage and political in-fighting, the investigation becomes a witch-hunt. Although Kate knows the truth she's terrified that pitting her eyewitness account against ruthless, powerful men will leave her ruined. As she struggles to make a decision, her heart leads her to two men - a powerful lawman and a handsome young radio operator.

Can Kate find happiness in the midst of tragedy?

Meticulously researched and using actual witness testimony, The Girl on the Carpathia begins where most Titanic stories end and answers the questions "What happened next?" and "Who was to blame?"

The Girl on the Carpathia is a 400 page standalone gripping historical novel inspired by real events. If you like passionate characters, surprising revelations, and endearing romances, then you'll love Eileen Enwright Hodgetts' seamless blend of fact and fiction.

      Hodgetts (Titanic to All Ships) animates in this vibrant outing the events and aftermath of the Titanic disaster. The night of April 15, 1912, 21-year-old Kate Royston is on the deck of the Carpathia, fleeing the aftermath of a disastrous flood in her Pennsylvania hometown involving a dam built by her paper baron father that stained their name, and hoping to start a new life in Europe. She runs into Harold Cottam, the Marconi wireless operator, who has just received a distress call from the “unsinkable” Titanic. Carpathia’s Captain Rostron answers the call and rescues 700 Titanic passengers from lifeboats. Kate, remembering the bodies of the poor who drowned in her town, notices most of the survivors are wealthy. One, the politically influential and irascible Mrs. Eva Trentham, vows to make those in charge pay for the debacle. Later, while working with Kate, Eva encourages Sen. William Alden Smith of Michigan to conduct an inquiry into the causes of the disaster and loss of life. The author does a great job dissecting the catastrophe’s political aftermath and developing her characters. Hodgetts’s heartfelt story of Kate and Eva’s crusade adds a worthy chapter to Titanic lore.
