The R.M.S. Titanic is the ship of dreams, and for Ophelia, it might also be the ship of miracles...Miss Ophelia Ashby wants nothing more than end her unwanted engagement before its too late. In comes the Duke of Hastings, Henry Spencer, the man who broke her heart. Ophelia was all plans to stay away from him, but he has other ideas in mind. And well, he's always been rather irresistible.Oddly, seven year-old Ali’s family all live in different places! Ali and her older brother are boarded out in two separate homes during the week. Their mother lives in the San Fernando Valley in a little house that Ali and her brother visit on weekends, and their father is in show business and always away “on the road”. Ali’s prayer each night is to bring her family together, “where we could all live in the same place, all week long.” One magical day, Ali’s father tells his family to sell the house and move to New York City where they can all live together. Has Ali’s prayer come true? Ali’s vision of having a family that looks like the images in her Dick and Jane school book do not necessarily come to pass; she finds their lives in New York City much more like her favorite book, “Alice in Wonderland.”
