A bold young woman defies societyâs expectations in the early 1900âs to love and lead in this gripping novel by #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel.
In April 1912, twenty-three-year-old Lady Victoria Oldbrooke is traveling with her beloved father from England on the maiden voyage of the Titanic. But when the ship strikes an iceberg and lifeboats are lowered with women and children first, Lord Alfred gives his place to another, and they are separated. Before he goes down with the ship, he asks his friend Bert Banning, a mill owner from Manchester, to promise heâll marry his daughter and care for her.
Devastated by the loss of Lord Alfred, Victoria and Bert take comfort in their growing friendship. Bert accepts his charge as her guardian but as friendship turns to deeper feelings,  hesitates to propose. Not only is he forty years her senior, marrying an industrialist will cause Victoria to be ostracized by aristocratic world she comes from. Cruelly shunned by everyone she knows, even family friends, she marries Bert and moves to his home in Manchester.
Isolated from her familiar universe and peers, and fascinated by Bertâs business, she learns all she can about it. When he meets a tragic end, in spite of opposition from all sides, she steps into his shoes and applies everything she learned. Taking on the risks, the hard decisions, the responsibilities, Victoria has the sheer grit that it takes to make a difference in a manâs world to change the limitations women have had to face and defy for centuries.
A stirring portrait of a strong woman who carves out her own place against all odds, this is a novel that will linger long after the final page is turned.
