The Girl Who Came Home

Historical Fiction, Literary Fiction

In 1912, seventeen-year-old Maggie Murphy boards RMS Titanic with fourteen others from her small Irish village, chasing a new life in America while leaving her beloved Séamus behind.

When the unthinkable happens, Maggie survives—but she never speaks of the terror she endured. Her silence lasts a lifetime.

Seventy years later, Grace Butler is grieving her father and questioning her future. But when her great-grandmother Maggie finally shares the truth about the night Titanic sank, Grace uncovers a story of love, survival, and the cost of silence.

Inspired by true events, The Girl Who Came Home is a powerful tale of resilience that connects generations through a tragedy that still echoes.

Some stories are too painful to tell—until the right person is ready to hear them.
