Despite predictions of disaster by clairvoyants, narrator Jane finds herself a passenger on the Titanic, along with her four sisters. Science, history, spiritualism, and romance converge in Weyn's text. The story plods along through Jane's early years and her medium mother's spiritualist practices, but the pace slowly picks up, culminating in the sinking of the ship.
