This book caught me by surprise crying so much! This harrowing tale of the Carpathia ship and her captain Rostron that saved 705 survivors from the sinking of the Titanic.

This is a little known story but the most important part is that this captain, though he didn't have much information, didn't hesitate to answer their distress call. 

We also follow along with the story of Kate Connelly (same surname at the author though she says there is no found relationship) who was a survivor on lifeboat 13.  

So we get to see this disaster through the eyes of people who really lived this. I love the captain and his willingness to do anything he could for his fellow men and women.
