This short story made me cry ;-(
Gilly Debeau has advanced in age and lives alone in Alabama. She has a great niece who calls on her but she lives in New York. Gilly collects wind chimes and the one her great niece gifts her one for Christmas seems to transport her to a time long ago forgotten on the great ship Titanic. Gilly dad has gifted her with the voyage on her 18th birthday and on this voyage Gilly meets her love. The romance takes place in a span of like two or three days and Gilly and William get engaged. Needless to say we all know how Titanic ends...Gilly is one of the survivors. William is not.
This was a cute short story and prequel to another of Peggy Webb's books featuring the great niece. This short story was written very well. I sobbed like a baby reading this book. I think reading any story on Titanic will do this to me. I watched the movie and sobbed and sobbed and sobbed, didn't watch it for another five years or so and remembered why it had been so long in between watching again...Cause I sobbed and sobbed and sobbed as if I had lost people on that ship too. I didn't realize that this would be in the story but it definitely made the story more interesting to me. According to the summary in Goodreads it was a time travel episode I read but it didn't seem one to me. It felt as if Gilly fell asleep to the wind chimes and that made her dream of a time long ago in her memories.
Well I got this on Kindle as a freebie and since I was in the mood for a Christmas story, I gave it a try. I'm glad I did. I will definitely read the next installment in the series.
