My first acknowledgement is to the hard work, patience and never-ending smile of my fabulous new editor, Rhea Kurien. Without her support and expertise, there is every chance I would have given up on the challenge I gave myself to include the tragic sinking of the Titanic in this book. I am thrilled that her encouragement inspired me to keep going!
I’d also like to thank the authors of all the amazing non-fiction books, accounts and letters I read while researching this book. Without them, I would not have learned as much as I felt I needed to in order to honour the trauma, love and hope I pray I’ve managed to convey during the writing of A Shop Girl At Sea.
Finally, I’d like to thank all the amazing readers and reviewers who continue to love the Pennington’s series and constantly contact me asking when the next book will be released. Love you lots!
