{"product_id":"9781459815735","title":"Big Water","description":"Seventeen-year-old Christina McBurney has led a sheltered life. But when her twin brother, Jonathan, dies of consumption, Christina, unwilling to be farmed out as a nursemaid or teacher, runs away from home and her destiny. In Owen Sound she boards the Asia, a steamship that transports passengers and freight throughout the Great Lakes. She doesn't really have a plan other than to get to Sault Ste. Marie. She'll figure things out once she's settled.  But a violent storm suddenly rises on Georgian Bay, and the overloaded and top-heavy steamship begins to sink. Christina is tossed overboard. Pulled to safety just before she loses consciousness, she finds herself on a lifeboat, surrounded by a number of bedraggled and terrified passengers and crew. One by one they succumb to their injuries, until only Christina and a brooding young man named Daniel are left alive.  The usual rules of society no longer apply—Daniel and Christina must now work together as equals to survive.  Big Water is a fictional account of the real-life story of the only two survivors of the sinking of the SS Asia in 1882.","brand":"Orca Book Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47129199182064,"sku":"9781459815735","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781459815735_p0.jpg?v=1763872893","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781459815735","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
