Book Description
They found love cruising to exotic destinations Finding a way to be together would turn their world upside down. When Tanya accepts a job on the Regal Princess cruise ship touring the Caribbean, she looks forward to travel, adventure, inspiration, sunshine, and just maybe, some lighthearted romance. Little does she imagine that fate will intervene, bringing her together with Josef, the ship's sexy pastry chef, with whom she falls deeply in love. But while the pair enjoys an idyllic romance aboard the very ship where scenes from The Love Boat were filmed and on the shores of various exciting ports of call-Aruba, St. Thomas, Acapulco, Puerto Rico, and more-the reality of their circumstances looms: Tanya's home is in British Columbia. Josef hails from a village in the Austrian Alps. What will they do when their contracts end? In All Over the Map: Two Lovers, Six Continents, and a Date with Destiny, Tanya takes readers along on the exhilarating journey as she and the man of her dreams struggle to maintain their bond beyond the fantasy world of the cruise ship. Back in their respective homes and oceans apart, their ardent quest to be together is thwarted time and again by circumstances beyond their control: tragic accidents, denied immigration visas, misunderstandings both heartbreaking and hilarious. Meeting up on fleeting romantic vacations all over the globe, they hold steadfastly on to their vision of a shared future . . . until a fateful incident threatens to drive them apart. Brimming with suspense, lust, longing, and the magic of travel, All Over the Map is a poignant reminder that-even more than romance-compromise, sacrifice, and patience are the keys to everlasting love.

The Ship of Dreams
Author: Gareth Russell
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501176749
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 448
Book Description
This original and “meticulously researched retelling of history’s most infamous voyage” (Denise Kiernan, New York Times bestselling author) uses the sinking of the Titanic as a prism through which to examine the end of the Edwardian era and the seismic shift modernity brought to the Western world. “While there are many Titanic books, this is one readers will consider a favorite” (Voyage). In April 1912, six notable people were among those privileged to experience the height of luxury—first class passage on “the ship of dreams,” the RMS Titanic: Lucy Leslie, Countess of Rothes; son of the British Empire Tommy Andrews; American captain of industry John Thayer and his son Jack; Jewish-American immigrant Ida Straus; and American model and movie star Dorothy Gibson. Within a week of setting sail, they were all caught up in the horrifying disaster of the Titanic’s sinking, one of the biggest news stories of the century. Today, we can see their stories and the Titanic’s voyage as the beginning of the end of the established hierarchy of the Edwardian era. Writing in his signature elegant prose and using previously unpublished sources, deck plans, journal entries, and surviving artifacts, Gareth Russell peers through the portholes of these first-class travelers to immerse us in a time of unprecedented change in British and American history. Through their intertwining lives, he examines social, technological, political, and economic forces such as the nuances of the British class system, the explosion of competition in the shipping trade, the birth of the movie industry, the Irish Home Rule Crisis, and the Jewish-American immigrant experience while also recounting their intimate stories of bravery, tragedy, and selflessness. Lavishly illustrated with color and black and white photographs, this is “a beautiful requiem” (The Wall Street Journal) in which “readers get the story of this particular floating Tower of Babel in riveting detail, and with all the wider context they could want” (Christian Science Monitor).
