    Jako dcera diplomata americké zahraniční služby vyrůstala Elizabeth Blackwellová v prostředí, kde se střídala Afrika, Blízký východ a Evropa, přičemž si vždy nosila knihu. Po studiu historie a žurnalistiky se věnovala editorské a spisovatelské práci pro různá periodika. Nyní píše beletrii ze své domácí pracovny na předměstí Chicaga a ve svých dílech často zkoumá témata spojená s kulturním přecházením a hledáním identity v globálním kontextu. Její styl je charakteristický bystrým pozorováním a pronikavým vhledem do lidské psychiky.

      On April 15, 1912, three women climbed into Lifeboat 21 and watched in horror as the Titanic sank into the icy depths. They were strangers then... Con artist Charlotte Digby lied her way through London and onto the Titanic. The disaster could be her chance at a new life--if she hides the truth about her past. Esme Harper, a wealthy American, mourns the end of a passionate affair and fears that everything beautiful is slipping from her grasp. And Anna Halversson, a Swedish farm girl in search of a fresh start in America, is tormented by the screams that ring out from the water. Is one of them calling her name? Twenty years later, a sudden death brings the three women back together, forcing them to face the impossible choices they made, the inconceivable loss, and the secrets they have kept for far too long.
