Perfect for readers who love...
A dual-timeline, past-and-present standalone novel inspired by Titanic survivor, suffragette, author and adventurer Helen Churchill Candee. Deeply emotional and ultimately uplifting, this story of courage, identity and second chances is recommended for readers who enjoy Stephanie Dray, Allison Pataki, Marie Benedict, Fiona Davis, Madeline Martin and Mark Sullivan.

Despite her initial misgivings, forensic artist Madison McClain joins an ambitious effort to exhume and identify the final forty-four unnamed victims of the Titanic disaster. The project is backed by a splashy new docuseries—and under the all-seeing lens of the camera, long-buried truths begin to surface.

As Madison painstakingly reconstructs faces lost to time, she uncovers the remarkable story of a woman history unjustly forgot—a trailblazer whose courage and resilience echo across the decades. Drawn into her life, Madison finds herself inspired in ways she never expected.

Working alongside a close-knit team—including a certain quietly brilliant scientist—Madison begins to rediscover her own true calling. And as the past and present entwine, she must decide whether she’s brave enough to step into the life she truly wants.

Moving, redemptive, and rich with historical detail, this is a story of second chances, unexpected connection, and the power of women to shape their own destinies—no matter the era.
