Thursday's child has far to go . . .
1912, London.
Eighteen-year-old Flora Butler is going up in the world. She has the prized position of lady's maid to young Constance Ogilvie, and is able to provide for her beloved parents and four younger siblings. She has even fallen in love, and though she does not feel quite ready to marry the charming Jamie Branning, her future seems clear.
But Flora's life is turned upside down when her mistress's father dies in a tragic accident. Connie is forced to move to New York to live with her aunt until she comes of age, and begs Flora to go with her. Flora has never left the country before, and now faces a difficult decision - give up her position, or leave her family behind. But when her beau lets her down, her mind is made up.
Soon Connie and Flora head for Southampton to board the RMS Titanic...

Readers' Digest
«A gifted writer. Tells a cracking story and does so with an insight into people that is rarely found. Not only is Goodwin's characterisation and dialogue compelling, but her descriptive writing is a joy. At the risk of offending an army of Cookson fans, I think Goodwin will more than fill the late great saga queen's shoes.»
Nottingham Evening Post
«Goodwin is a fabulous writer. She reels the reader in surprisingly quickly and her style involves lots of twists and turns that are in no way predictable.»
Worcester Evening News
«With strong settings and likeable characters, this is a page turner of a book to sail away with»
Frost Magazine
«Rosie writes such heart-warming sagas featuring believable characters and well-researched backgrounds and eras»
Lyn Andrews
«An absorbing story in the grand tradition of the best saga authors»
Margaret Dickinson
«The hardships and privations of a Victorian workhouse are vividly portrayed. Sunday Small is a wonderful heroine, plucky, determined and warm-hearted. A believable and compelling read all the way to a satisfying conclusion»
