  Martha Pfeiffer, age 19, was one of 844 persons who perished when a ship chartered for the Western Electric annual picnic capsized in Chicago in 1915. Martha's surviving family members never recovered from their grief. The Eastland Disaster has been mostly overlooked in recent years. 
  In 1997, Pearl Pospisil, a retired Chicago writer, and third-generation Pfeiffer, composed a family history and delivered it to her niece, Zara Vrabel, in St. Paul, who was completely unfamiliar with its contents. Pearl had one request: "Do something with this." 
  Zara, also a journalist, was cut off from her family and had no interest in genealogy. However, learning of her great-aunt's death on the Eastland Disaster made Zara's heart sink. 
  Zara's life unravels as she becomes entangled in the plot and realizes that she and her great-aunt shared more than blood. After discovering that the accident was preventable, Zara initially seeks redress. And the release of another Titanic movie poured salt on a fresh wound. So why was the Eastland consigned to oblivion while the Titanic got all the glory? 
  Flower in the River interweaves the past and present of four generations of an Eastern-European immigrant family. It suggests that even an unknown trauma can affect a family for generations.

  A sinking ship. A murdered man. A deadly secret that refuses to drown. 
  When the ill-fated Bon Espoir slips beneath the waves, it takes with it the desperate, last-minute confession of Gurth Egerton—a man with the blood of his cousin on his hands. But the sea does not always keep its dead, and in the sprawling, gaslit streets of London, the ghosts of the past are beginning to stir. 
  In Rogues and Vagabonds, Monica Downey weaves a brilliant, sprawling melodrama of high-stakes blackmail, tragic romance, and intertwined destinies. Penniless outcast Edward Marston has returned from exile, armed with a damning piece of knowledge that threatens to destroy a respectable doctor who built his fortune on a corpse. Meanwhile, a young, disinherited heir elopes with a lodge-keeper's daughter to face the brutal reality of poverty, and a mysterious, beautiful benefactor tries to save a young girl from the squalor of a notorious Soho gambling den. 
  As these disparate lives collide, old loyalties are tested, and deadly alliances are forged. Rich with atmospheric tension, shocking twists, and unforgettable characters, Rogues and Vagabonds is a gripping journey into the dark heart of a society where everyone has something to hide—and a price they are willing to pay.
