​

GRACE WINTER, twenty-two, is both a newlywed and a widow. She is also on trial for her life.

During the summer of 1914, the elegant oceanliner carrying Grace and her husband, Henry, accross the Atlantic suffers a mysterious explosion. Setting aside his own safety, Henry secures Grace a seat in a lifeboat, which its occupants quickly realize has exceeded capacity. For any to live, some must die. 

As the castaways battle the elements and one another, Grace recollects the unorthodox way she and Henry met and considers the new life of priviledge she thought she'd found. Will she pay any price to keep it?"
