Description
Based on the True Story of Twelve-Year-Old Titanic Survivor, Ruth Becker
“Sometimes we have to go a long way to find out who we are.”
The year is 1912. When doctors in India are unable to treat her baby brother’s illness, Ruth’s missionary parents decide there is one solution: move her mother and the children across the world—to Michigan.
But India is the only home Ruth knows. In a matter of days, she must leave Papa and all she loves behind, abandon her dream of one day playing violin in the Calcutta Orchestra, and embark on a rollicking, four-week journey across the Arabian and Mediterranean Seas, followed by the voyage to New York aboard the luxurious, ill-fated RMS Titanic.
Ruth’s story is one of courage and self-sacrifice as she earns her sea legs and faces the unknown, culminating in a desperate, tragic night she will never forget.
To author from personal friend of Ruth Becker
“I’ve read the book from cover to cover already…could not put it down…I cannot compliment you enough for all the detail that you have included…Such a great deal is as Ruth shared with me over the years. The Stars In April is such a wonderful tribute to Ruth…I bet she is smiling in gratitude.”
