A beloved story of a fateful impersonation on the Titanic is available again
For years fans of Newbery Honor author Richard Peck's young adult novels have sought out hard-to-find copies of his first novel for adults, Amanda/Miranda. Published in 1980, this enthralling story of love and adventure against the backdrop of the sinking of the Titanic has been unavailable for over fifteen years. Now YA readers have an Amanda/Miranda all their own: a brand-new edition, abridged by the author especially for an age twelve-up readership.
In 1911, eighteen-year-old Mary Cooke comes to stately Whitwell Hall to serve as maid for the strong-willed young Amanda Whitwell. To Mary' astonishment, her aristocratic new employer is her near-double. A dutiful servant girl, "Miranda"--as her arrogant mistress renames her--must stand by as Amanda ensnares both men whom Miranda herself loves. But when maid and mistress journey together on the Titanic, Miranda sees the chance to seize her destiny...forever.
