About this listen
A voyage across the ocean becomes the odyssey of a lifetime for a young Irish woman….
Ireland, 1912…
Fourteen members of a small village set sail on RMS Titanic, hoping to find a better life in America. For 17-year-old Maggie Murphy, the journey is bittersweet. Though her future lies in an unknown new place, her heart remains in Ireland with Samus, the sweetheart she left behind. When disaster strikes, Maggie is one of the few passengers in steerage to survive. Waking up alone in a New York hospital, she vows never to speak of the terror and panic of that fateful night again.
Chicago, 1982…
Adrift after the death of her father, Grace Butler struggles to decide what comes next. When her great-grandmother Maggie shares the painful secret about Titanic that she's harbored for almost a lifetime, the revelation gives Grace new direction and leads both her and Maggie to unexpected reunions with those they thought lost long ago.
Inspired by true events, The Girl Who Came Home poignantly blends fact and fiction to explore the Titanic tragedy's impact and its lasting repercussions on survivors and their descendants.

Interesting and entertaining
The characters are quite well developed in this novel; Maggie, Grace and Seamus captured my interest immediately. Although the story of Titanic has been told many times, this novel wisely focuses on the characters and how their lives were affected by the disaster. It’s well written and poignant.

Incredible Titanic Story
A heartwarming story of survival. Told to her great granddaughter through the eyes of a young women leaving Ireland to go to America on the Titanic with 14 other people and only two survived. It is also a wonderful love story with a wonderful and unexpected twist at the end. A fabulous book, deep characters and as Ms Gaynor is so good at emotions that make you smile and cry. I loved this book,
