When the world enters the Great War, she serves as a nurse, helping men who could very well be her brothers. Working as a stewardess and wartime nurse, Violet not only survives a shipwreck but also two sinkings, one on the infamous Titanic.

Warm, funny, and bursting with heart Rebecca Serle\n\n'Beautiful, moving, hopeful' Emily Stone\n\nGreta James is adrift. Literally.\n\nJust after the sudden death of her mother - her most devoted fan - and weeks before the launch of her high-stakes second album, Greta James falls apart on stage.
