On a cold April night in 1912, the O'Callaghan family boards Titanic with hope in their hearts and America in their dreams. But when the unthinkable happens, their journey becomes a fight for survival.
Sixteen-year-old Sean is determined to help his family find a better life across the ocean. Fourteen-year-old Niamh watches over her younger siblings, eight-year-old Aoife and toddler Eamon, as their parents try to keep everyone together in the crowded third-class decks.
When the great ship strikes ice and chaos breaks across the night, the family is forced apart. The women and children are pushed toward a lifeboat, while Sean and their father struggle to escape the sinking ship.
From the decks of Titanic to the streets of New York,
The Night the Stars Stood Still
is a moving historical novel about courage, loss, and the unbreakable bonds of a family that refused to let the sea take everything from them.
