Hearts That Survive: A Novel of the Titanic by Yvonne Lehman is as you've probably guessed, an inspirational historical multi-generational family saga with some romance in it starting from the event which I'm sure we're all familiar with (excepting the occasional person on Twitter who
claims to have not known it was real), free courtesy of Christian publisher Abingdon.

Description
On April 15, 1912, Lydia Beaumont is on her way to a new life with a boundless hope in love and faith. Her new friendship with Caroline Chadwick is bonded even more as they plan Lydia's wedding on board the "grandest ship ever built." Then both women suffer tragic losses when the "unsinkable" Titanic goes down. Can each survive the scars the disaster left on their lives?
Decades later, Alan Morris feels like a failure until he discovers he is the descendant of an acclaimed, successful, heroic novelist who went down with the Titanic. Will he find his identity with the past, or will he listen to Joanna Bettencourt, Caroline's granddaughter, who says inner peace and success come only with a personal relationship with the Lord?
Will those who survived and their descendants be able to find a love more powerful than their pain?
