Two worlds collide aboard the ship of dreams

When nineteen-year-old Elizabeth Pembrooke boards the RMS Titanic in Southampton, she's trapped in a gilded cage of social expectations, destined for a life of ornamental respectability. In the ship's third-class quarters, Irish immigrant Siobhan "Vonnie" O'Malley travels toward an uncertain future in America, carrying nothing but hope and her beautiful voice.

A chance encounter during an evening of forbidden dancing breaks through the rigid class barriers that divide their worlds. As their unlikely friendship deepens, both young women begin to discover who they truly are beneath the roles society has assigned them. But their growing bond will be tested by the greatest maritime disaster in history.

When the "unsinkable" ship meets its fate in the icy waters of the North Atlantic, Elizabeth and Vonnie must fight not only for their survival, but for the connections that have come to mean more than life itself. In the aftermath of tragedy, they'll learn that the most important journeys aren't measured in miles, but in the courage to choose love over convention, friendship over fear, and authentic family over the accidents of birth.

From the glittering ballrooms of first class to the vibrant community of steerage, from the chaos of a sinking ship to the challenge of building new lives in America, Divided Waters is an unforgettable story of friendship, love, and the unbreakable bonds forged in humanity's darkest hours.

Some connections are deeper than the ocean itself
