It was the family trip of a lifetime. Three of the Fortune daughters, their parents and their youngest brother would end their Grand Tour of Europe by sailing back to America on the RMS Titanic's maiden voyage in 1912. It was a trip that would change their lives forever. SISTERS OF FORTUNE, by Anna Lee Huber, is a work of historical fiction inspired by the very real Fortune family from Winnipeg. Expertly researched and impeccably detailed, readers are immediately drawn into the story which is primarily focused on the three sisters. They were returning home to lives they were no longer sure they wanted and hoped to use this time at sea to make important decisions. It was a time during which women had little freedom or opportunity to make choices about their lives. Would this trip with all they had seen and experienced give them the strength to grasp what they truly want? While what happened to the Titanic and those aboard is well documented, reading SISTERS OF FORTUNE brings it all to life once again. From the luxurious trappings of the ship to its A-List first-class passengers to the horrific disaster and the aftermath, readers are given a front-row seat into a remarkable story one that is well worth reading. It is a story that is filled with emotion and it beautifully showcases the strengths some exhibit during the very worst of times. Masterly crafted and believable, SISTERS OF FORTUNE is an excellent novel. I highly recommend reading the Author's Note as I found it to be very informative.
