Description
From a working-class family, Scotsman Andrew Cunningham stewards for wealthy travelers aboard elegant cruise ships of the early 20th century, but he resents those who flaunt their inherited wealth.
New Yorkers Florence and Bradley Cumings, first-class passengers traveling aboard Titanic, are the exception, and the three discover an ancestral connection.
As the ship sinks on the fateful morning of April 15, 1912, Florence watches in horror from her lifeboat. In the darkness of night, she searches the water for her husband and recognizes the man swimming through the frigid water toward her is Andrew.
Based on a true story, Sheltering Angel is a must-read!
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
"Bryant's passionate storytelling will captivate readers and bring a fresh perspective on a maritime tragedy that still reverberates in the twenty-first century." -Jacquelyn Lenox Tuxill, author of Whispers from the Valley of the Yak: A Memoir of Coming Full Circle
"Sheltering Angel tells the true story of several lesser-known individuals whose lives were impacted by the Titanic disaster. The stories of Cumings, Cunningham, Siebert and the others are engrossing, and Bryant's passion for the source material shines through on every page." -Tad Fitch, author of Recreating Titanic & Her Sisters: A Visual History
"It's a beautifully-told and poignant backstory to a piece of history we all know. Bryant is a master at finding such great true stories and bringing them to life." -Sylvester Monroe, co-author with Peter Goldman, of Brothers: Black and Poor-A True Story of Courage and Survival
