Lives depend on the truth she uncovers.
She can't give up her search.
A birthday excursion turns deadly when the SS Eastland capsizes with Olive Pierce and her best friend on board. Hundreds perish during the accident, and it's only when Olive herself barely escapes that she discovers her friend is among the victims.
In the aftermath of the tragedy, Olive returns to her work at a Chicago insurance agency and is immersed in the countless investigations related to the accident. But with so many missing, there are few open-and-shut cases, and she tries to balance her grief with the hard work of finding the truth.
While someone sabotages her progress, Olive accepts the help of newspaper photographer Erik Magnussen. As they unravel secrets, the truths they discover impact those closest to Olive. How long will the disaster haunt her--and how can she help the others find the peace they deserve?

Drawn by the Current leads readers on an engaging journey of intrigue and romance, perfectly blended with a splash of Chicago history from the early 1900s. Jocelyn's fictional work successfully crosses over to be equally enjoyable--and consequential--to readers of the several non-fiction narratives previously published about the Eastland Disaster.

Reviews
"Drawn by the Current is a tenderly written novel about the strengths and setbacks associated with being a woman in 1915. The storyline is gripping, and every detail is exquisitely rendered, showing both Green's attention and her research."
Seattle Book Review
"The characters are all well developed, and the plot ranges from captivating to suspenseful to heartbreaking. Drawn by the Current takes us back to one of the worst maritime disasters in U.S. history and also reminds us of the plight of women in those days. Multi-layered and well-researched, this third book in the Windy City Saga series is not to be missed."
