the end of the book It s a book that s interwoven with history, the paranormal, and a great story of five sisters and the events that lead up to them being on the Titanic on its maiden voyage I loved the name dropping and the important people that Jane, the main sister heroine, meets This includes the crazy inventor Nicholas Tesla, who fascinates me, the financier John Jacob Astor, author Si WOW I
