But everything changes on a cold April day in 1912, when the sinking of the Titanic alters her world forever.Finding strength within her grief, Annabelle throws herself into volunteer work, nursing the poor and igniting a passion for medicine that will shape the course of her life.

There she finds her true calling, working as an ambulance medic on the front lines.
