Publisher's summary

Isabel Fontaine’s lavish lifestyle came to a crashing halt the night the General Chanzy sank. At 18, she had everything — fine luxuries, a prominent family, and an extravagant estate in Marseille. The one thing she didn’t have was her freedom. As the sole heir to the Fontaine fortune, her future was forged with a betrothal to a stranger from a foreign country, but when her family perishes at sea, Isabel sees this as a chance to hide her identity and change her fate.

Taken in by poor, elderly farmers on the Spanish island of Menorca, Isabel is torn between the growing affection for a neighbor and the guilt of living a lie. The simplicity and genuine goodness of this life take her on a journey she never believed was possible, yet, as time passes and the threat of her untruths face exposure, Isabel must make an agonizing choice.

When that choice is taken from her prematurely and danger cultivates from an implausible guise, will Isabel accept the outcome, or fight to save those she loves?

Told from the perspective of four characters, Second Survivor is a twist on the tragic shipwreck...the General Chanzy in the Mediterranean Sea. Facts from this disastrous sailing on the night of February 10, 1910, between Marseille and Algiers, share the horrific details that 156 people aboard the barge lost their lives. There was only one survivor. This story shares the fate of a Second Survivor.

Second Survivor by Leah Moyes

Very good. The story and story line kept me engaged and I felt like I were there. That to me is an excellent book. No foul language, thankfully,was necessary. Narrator was good also. Thank-you.

Imagine, if you will, having your whole life ahead of you. Dreaming of happily ever after. Isabel is young, inexperienced, and pampered but she is also sweet, kind hearted, highly educated and knows what she wants in life (a true love, a loving home, a relationship of mutual respect, and a happily ever after) and what she doesn't (a marriage contract, a groom she doesn't know, and a life in a faraway land). But her dreams and her Father's wants are not the same. When the unthinkable happens she decides to risk it all for a chance at her dreams.

A beautifully written novel with characters you will remember and cherish. A world you will want to live in. A villain you will love to hate. Will Isabel get her second chance?

Loved this book!

Brillant work of historical fiction that kept me captivated the entire book. I felt transported into the 1900s and immersed and apart of the lives of Maria, Fransico, and Anita cheering and fearing for their fate. Should definitely be a best seller!

what the heck?

This is one of the hardest books I've ever listened to. It seems to jump back and forth between male characters and female characters but all in first hand. With no explanation of who's who when the characters change, it's impossible to follow. I stopped listening after about an hour. Wish I could get my money back.
