I am currently attending Harvard and pursuing a degree in Humanities. My passion is books and writing. Books taught me things about myself, the world, and society in ways I never thought possible. It is thanks to books I know who I am and allowed me to discover my passion for writing. There is nothing like crafting characters and capturing the voice of a story, bringing it to life on the pages. Thanks to every bookish bestie in the book world, it has allowed me to spread my joy of reading to people worldwide!

The cover immediately intrigued me, and after I read the first page, I was hooked on this story of the “Titanic of the South.” Surviving Savannah not only captured me because…
