Titanic: The Long Night
by Diane Hoh
If you loved James Cameron's Titanic, you will love this story. This story will pull at your heartstrings, and you will be crying by the end of this magnificent tale. Our journey follows two teenage girls, Elizabeth and Katherine. Elizabeth is traveling on the Titanic in first class with both her mother and father. Elizabeth is desperately fighting for a chance to go to school before marrying. Her parents are not agreeable to Elizabeth's wishes, and are quite adamant that Elizabeth will follow the path they have set for her, which is debut, and then to marry her betrothed, Alan.
Katherine is an Irish girl, leaving her home country in hopes of becoming a singing star. Her two friends, Patrick ("Paddy") and Brian are traveling with her. Paddy is not sure what he will do, but Brian is set on becoming a farmer. Although Paddy does not realize this, Katherine secretly has a crush on him, but is passing it off, since Paddy had broken many hearts back in their hometown.
Elizabeth while boarding runs into a steerage passenger and helps him to his correct placement below decks. Later that evening at dinner, Elizabeth is shocked when her father introduces Max as his friend's son. Quickly, Max and Elizabeth start a romance that defies all odds.
Meanwhile, Paddy is growing angrier and angrier at his brother, whom is spending time with another young lady. Paddy is under the assumption that Brian and Katherine are a couple, but neither of them realize this, and are confused by Paddy's anger. In a show of defiance against the gawking first class ladies whom have came down on a tour of the ship, Paddy grabs Katherine, and kisses her with a fierce passion. Katherine is left breathless.
Elizabeth watches on as Paddy kisses Katherine, and it reminds her of her forbidden love, Max. Even though Max was a member of their class, his parents have disowned him, and therefore he is virtually penniless, the only reason he was on the Titanic was due to a generous gift from his grandmother.
Who will live? Who will die? Who will end up together, and who will have to say goodbye? Read the story to find out!
