Julie Williams has an uncanny ability to take your hand and make you fly with her to times past as you read her prose. You hear the music in church, you hear the rustle of the dresses shown in numerous original photographs, you feel the chilly air on your face when she describes the night setting on the doomed ship. More, much more than just a survival story, A Rare Titanic Family is a gem. - Roger-Wilco, A Rare Titanic Family is a one-of-a-kind biography of a rarely heard story of that sinking ship. -- Midwest Book Review, A Rare Titanic Family is a rare work indeed. Ms. Williams has taken a seemingly ordinary family and not only describes in detail their experiences in the worst sea disaster of their era, but also describes the fascinating and unusual circumstances which led them to be on board the Titanic, carefully analyzing any variations in her sources. She then follows up with an equally interesting study of their lives afterward and how they were personally affected by the sinking. This is an unusual look at the private lives of three people who faced death on the North Atlantic, and survived to tell the tale. - Don Lynch , former vice president of the Titanic Historical Society and author of Titanic: An Illustrated History and Ghosts of the Abyss, Cleanly written and well-researched, this book is recommended as another way to experience the human face of the Titanic tragedy. -- Dustin Kaczmarczyk , German Titanic Society, Written with sensitivity and meticulously researched, this book is an important addition to the Titanic canon. - George Behe , author of On Board RMS Titanic, A Rare Titanic Family is a rare work indeed.

Albert and Sylvia Caldwell were one of those rare Titanic families who lived through the tragedy at sea. Their lucky rescue aboard the Lifeboat 13 is told for the first time here. But the trip was only one part of a bigger nightmare. The Caldwells has been Presbyterian missionaries in Bangkok, Siam, but fled in what they described as a desperate journey around the world to save Sylvia's health. Fellow missionaries, however, believed that the couple had plotted to renege on their contract at financial loss to the church. Not even sinking Titanic ended the hunt for the Caldwells.

- e***u (283)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThe listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.

Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
