Unsinkable

by Jenni L. Walsh

'Unsinkable' weaves the awe-inspiring tales of two women, Violet Jessop and Daphne Chaundanson, separated by time but connected by fate and resilience. Violet, a nurse and stewardess, miraculously survives the sinking of the Titanic among other maritime disasters, striving to overcome the shadows of her past while seeking love and a life of her own. Meanwhile, Daphne, an unwanted child turned linguistic scholar, accepts the dangerous role as a Special Operations Executive agent in WWII France. Her quest for her father's approval and her dedication to her country lead her through trials that test the very limits of her strength. As both women navigate the turbulent waters of their respective battles — one literal, the other figurative — their journeys reveal a poignant connection, shattering the barriers of time and reshaping their destinies forever. Based on historical accounts of Violet Jessop and the thirty-nine women of the Special Operations Executive, 'Unsinkable' is an homage to survival, family, and the indomitable spirit of womanhood.
