This book is a return to the older Danielle Steel style and story. It's set in her familiar San Francisco with multiple characters and stories interwoven. It was an easy read and I enjoyed her work again.

I can't remember why I picked this book up, but it was perfect for me when I read it. A nice reminder how quickly your life can change and how ultimately you do have control over your choices. And when life dishes out things out of our control, how you can make the best of it.

I really enjoyed it.

This book was not up to Danielle Steel's usual standards. It was a predictable story, no surprises. Instead of getting involved in her books like I usually do, this one skimmed the surface. It could have been better by her not having interwoven characters and focused on one of them.

To date, this is my favorite of Danielle Steele's novels. A California earthquake throws an odd assortment of people together, each with their own interesting challenges, facing "earthquakes" within their personal lives...A wife loses her prestigious husband and lifestyle, a nun questions whether she should leave the family of the Church in order to experience romantic love and a chance for a family of her own...a young woman goes thru the struggle of cutting the apron strings of her stage-struck mother and a life away from the glamour of a musician's life...A man explores AA and life with sobriety....An interesting section out of the days of the lives of realistic and likable characters. Enjoy!

I found this book very hard to get into. If a book doesn't grab me in the first chapter so or I set it aside. This is one of those books

A wonderful story of not only love and romance, but of personal and earthly catastrophys. A tale woven with real life scenerios and compassion. A lot of surprises.

Good read with interesting characters that you really come to care about what happens to them. Very timely investment fraud story-line, too.

I bought this book to read on a long flight. I liked this book very much.
I didn't care too much for the characters Melanie & Tom. But I did get wrapped up in the other characters Sarah & Seth. But I really got caught up in Sister Maggie & Everett's characters. I hated what Seth put Sarah through. And I was so happy to see what happened and turned out for Maggie & Everett.
