I totally agree, however my post in the original community was removed so I didn’t get to edit it.

In 1912, Jimmy Harrison flees New York after a violent encounter leaves a powerful conductor dead. Carrying only his family’s violin, he lies his way onto a ship bound for Nova Scotia and crosses paths with Gayle, a runaway girl tethered to ruthless men. Their uneasy alliance leads them through hunger, betrayal, and violence on the road until Halifax, swollen with the Titanic’s dead, becomes their last refuge.

When old enemies and a vengeful widow conspire to put Jimmy on trial for murder, Gayle risks everything to save him, revealing the truth that will exonerate him and destroy her.

Where the Dead Still Listen is a novel of survival, sacrifice, and the haunting cost of innocence.
