This is the first of two holiday-inspired December episodes.

Join me AT the Titanic Museum Attraction as Emily Densky and I discuss the haunting beauty in recognizing the lives of Titanic's children, both those who survived and those lost. We tell the story of Douglas Spedden, whose survival that night (alongside his family) inspired his mother Daisy to write a children's book at Christmas, 1913--to help him cope with the unbelievable trauma, no doubt. Douglas' life was cut horrifically short just two years later, and the manuscript slept in a trunk for decades...until a descendant stumbled upon it and brought it out into the world.

We jump around at the end to a bit of everything as well--happenings at the museum, descendant visits to the museum, and....past life regression?!
