This was my first Steel novel, and must say that I was impressed. This one was not really a romance, but a mothers story of life falling apart. Her daughter was in a horrific accident and the rest of her life comes tumbling after that. This is a story of perseverance.

This book is about a woman whose life gets turned upside-down. Her daughter is in an accident(hence the name), her husband is cheating on her, and she is in the middle dealing with it all.

I thought this book was very good. A little repetitive, but great story.

I am a Danielle Steel junkie. She is my guilty pleasure! Accident was one of the first books of hers that I read and I really enjoyed it!

FROM THE PUBLISHER
Accident is a powerful and ultimately triumphant novel of lives shattered and changed by one devastating moment.

Although frequent business meetings keep her husband, Brad, away from home, Page Clarke feels blessed with her happy family and comfortable marriage. They have a house near San Francisco and she keeps busy looking after their seven-year-old son, Andy, and their teenage daughter, Allyson.
Allyson, at fifteen, is trying her wings and one weekend, instead of an evening with her friend Chloe, the girls lie and go out with two older high school boys. But a Saturday night that was supposed to be fun ends in tragedy when their car collides head-on with another.

At the hospital, Page finds Chloe's divorced father, Trygve, and, unable to locate Brad, she leans on his strength throughout the the long hours of tormenting questions. Will Allyson live? Will any of them? Were the teenagers drinking? Using drugs? Who was at fault? And where is her husband? Without Brad by her side Page feels her life start to come apart as she is forced to confront the fact that Allyson may not live, and if she does, she may never be the same again.

In an inspiring novel that explores how many people are affected by one tragic accident and how they survive it, Danielle Steel brings us close to the characters whose lives are as familiar as our own... and who live, as we all do, in a world where everything can change in a single moment.

"Accident" is one of those books you just cannot put it down. It is a great story, that reminds us of how a single day can change your entire life. That Saturday of the "Accident" is one of those days. The main characters had a perfect life before their daughter and three other teenagers were involved in a terrible car accident which changed their lives forever...very emotional read.
