Millions adored Daphne Fields, for she shared their passion, their pain, their joy, and their sorrow. But America's most popular novelist remained a closed book to the world -- guarding her life with a fierce privacy no reporter could crack.
Her life hides a myriad of secrets. The husband and daughter she lost in a fire. The son who barely survived it and would be deaf forever. The victories, the defeats, the challenges of facing life as a woman alone and helping her son meet the challenges of his handicap. A strong woman, she would not accept defeat, or help from anyone... until she found she could no longer face it alone.

This was a really good book. It was one of the author's better ones in my opinion.

This one made me cry. It is Steel's usual story of a woman overcoming adversity but how she does it will rivet you to the story and you will not want to put it down.

A very good read. One of her earlier works, but one I've never forgotten.

even for Danielle Steel, this talented heroine has a LOT of adversity to overcome-but you know she does. I know it's a formula, but it's very readable for a plane ride or poolside this summer. dealing with deafness is an interesting plot twist in this one.

my copy of this book has a little water damage. I got it used from a library. But, no text is damaged.
