We have all seen the movie. We have all sang "My Heart will Go On" at the tops of our lungs. Now, you need to check out "Titanic: Voices from the Disaster. " This book has gripping first-hand accounts from people that were aboard the Titanic on her fatal voyage. As you are reading their intertwined stories, you get this feeling that everyone is gonna make it, that Captain Smith will heed the warnings, that there will be plenty of lifeboats, that maybe there wasn't a collision after all and it was really just a scratch. Even knowing how the story ends up (with the sinking of the ship) you get a real sense of hopefulness from the passengers and staff. But, why were they so hopeful? What happens that finds you rooting for everyone aboard even knowing the outcome?
