Lucy Duff Gordon knows she is talented. She sees colour, light, fabric, and texture in ways few other people do. But after being deserted by her wealthy husband, Lucy is desperate to survive. She turns to her one true talent to make a living. Lucile knows it is an uphill battle, and a single woman is not supposed to succeed on her own, but she refuses to give up. She will claim her place in the fashion world; failure simply is not an option. Then, on a frigid night in 1912, Lucy's life changes once more, when she becomes one of 706 people to survive the sinking of the Titanic.
