The Unresolved

Inspired by the tragic events of 9/11, THE UNRESOLVED reaches back into history to explore what was, until recently, the greatest disaster in New York City history. Based on the sinking of the General Slocum steamship – which caught fire in the East River, New York, in 1904, resulting in the death of over 1,000 mostly German immigrants on a church outing – THE UNRESOLVED is at once a ghost story, a courtroom drama, an examination of immigrant life, and a tale of love, redemption and revenge. The novel dramatizes how a single life – and death – can have a powerful influence on history.
