The Titanic was only the beginning. What she survived has become
legend.
Violet Jessop is Miss Unsinkable.
Violet is a stewardess and wartime nurse who not only survives a
shipwreck but also two sinkings, one on the infamous Titanic. No one
can understand why she would return to sea, but Violet is simply trying
to survive. Her childhood was fraught with illness and death in her
family. Her distraught mother is too ill to work, that responsibility
falling to Violet as the oldest of nine. When the world enters the Great
War, she becomes aboard as a nurse, helping men who could very well be
her brothers. But disaster strikes again, this time as the Britannic
strikes a mine. Miraculously, Violet survives, but her obligation to her
mother and siblings still remains, leaving Violet to wonder if she'll
ever be able to put her tumultuous life at sea behind her and pursue a
life and love all her own.
Daphne has survived calamity of her own.
Daphne Chaundanson grows up as an unwanted child after her mother died
in a tragedy. She throws herself into education, collecting languages
like candy in a desperate attempt to finally earn her father's approval.
When the Special Operations Executive invites her to be an agent in
France in World War II, her childhood of anonymity and her love of
languages make her the perfect fit. She sees it as an opportunity to
help the country she loves and live up to her father's expectations. But
unthinkable moments of challenge and resilience change Daphne in ways
she could never expect, including an eye-opening encounter where she
must come to terms with the secrets in her own past.
Two unsinkable women. Two stories of survival, family, and finding one's
own happiness. One connection that reshapes both their lives forever.
