The year is 1912. When doctors in India are unable to treat her baby brother's illness, Ruth's missionary parents decide there is one solution: move her mother and the children across the world--to Michigan. But India is the only home Ruth knows. In a matter of days, she must leave Papa and all she loves behind, abandon her dream of one day playing violin in the Calcutta Orchestra, and embark on a rollicking, four-week journey across the Arabian and Mediterranean Seas, followed by the voyage to New York aboard the luxurious, ill-fated RMS Titanic. Ruth's story is one of courage and self-sacrifice as she earns her sea legs and faces the unknown, culminating in a desperate, tragic night she will never forget." -- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Becker, Ruth Elizabeth, $d 1899-1990 $x Fiction. 610 20 $a Titanic (Steamship) $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Astronomy $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Dysfunctional families $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Missionaries $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Life change events $x Fiction. 941 $a 2 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20220212025436.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20211001010544.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DC893CE4227C11ECA4F9151B2FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
