A HARROWING NARRATIVE OF A REMARKABLE REAL-LIFE STORY

A stirring and remarkable story, this novel tells the tale of the intertwined life of Dick Williams and Karl Behr who survived the sinking of the Titanic and went on to have Hall of Fame tennis careers. Two years before they faced each other in the quarterfinals of the U.S. Nationals – the modern-day U.S. Open - the two men boarded the infamous ship as strangers. Dick, shy and gangly, was moving to America to pursue a tennis career and attend Harvard. Karl, a dashing tennis veteran, was chasing after Helen, the love of his life. The two men remarkably survived the sinking of the great vessel and met aboard the rescue ship Carpathia. But as they reached the shores of the United States, both men did all they could to distance themselves from the disaster. An emotional and touching work, this novel brings one of the most extraordinary sports stories to life in literary form. This real-life account – with an ending seemingly plucked out of a Hollywood screenplay - weaves the themes of love, tragedy, history, sport and perseverance.

Review:
"This real-life account—with an ending seemingly plucked out of a Hollywood screenplay—weaves the themes of love, tragedy, history, sport and perserverance." —Denver Examiner (March 2012)

"Titanic: The Tennis Story . . . rivals the movie "Titanic" — and then some — in that it tells a remarkable story, and it's true. . . . Packs a real punch. . . . A very enjoyable and interesting read." —Trenton Times
