Her mother had a strong premonition that the trip would end in disaster--as indeed it did. Eva Hart's father died in the ocean catastrophe that killed over 1,500 people.This heart-wrenching biography tells the story of the Titanic through the eyes of a child. The book also covers the aftermath of the disaster, recounting the difficulties the Harts faced in rebuilding their lives in England. The tragedy of the Titanic cast a shadow on Eva Hart's life, which took years to confront. This book is her attempt to look beyond the shadow of the Titanic.
