Daughter of the Titanic

In "Daughter of the Titanic," inspired by a true story, fourteen-year-old Helen ‘Melville’ Smith grapples with the loss of her father, Captain Edward J. Smith of the Titanic, and becomes the reluctant protector of her family's narrative, framed by tragedy and myth. Sixty years later, Oxford academic Catherine Haynes uncovers a mislabelled portrait and forgotten papers, leading her to Mel, who bravely shares her untold truths, hidden rebellions, and enduring secrets. This poignant reimagining explores themes of loss, legacy, and the delicate balance between memory and myth.
