Book Description:
In eighteen years of marriage, Liz and Jack Sutherland had built a family, a successful law practice, and a happy home near San Francisco, on Hope Street. Then, in an instant, it all fell apart.
It began like any other Christmas morning. But for Jack Sutherland, a five-minute errand ends in tragedy. And suddenly, Liz is alone, in the wake of an unbearable loss.
How can she go on without her husband, her partner, her best friend? How can she grieve when she must console five devastated children, including one with special needs?
Powered by her children's love, Liz finds the strength to return to work, to become both mother and "daddy." One by one the holidays come and go, until a devastating accident sends her oldest son to the hospital -- and brings Dr. Bill Webster into her life. Bill becomes a friend to Liz as he slowly heals her shattered son.
With the first anniversary of Jack's death approaching, and with it another Christmas in the house on Hope Street, a new relationship offers new hope, and Liz reflects on the little blessings that give strength when nothing else is left. But she will face one more crisis before she can look ahead to the beginning of a new life.
The House on Hope Street is about learning to live again after you think life is over. It is about cherishing small miracles, and believing in big ones. It is above all about hope.

Danielle Steel is one of my altime favorite authors, and this book is just as worthy of reading as all of her others.

I've always loved Danielle Steel, but she's really outdone herself this time. It covers all of the feelings a family would go through in a tragic sudden death of a spouse, including a bossy mother who loves to stick her nose where it doesn't belong...constantly! I really enjoyed it, more than anything I've read lately.

Sue E. (Liz and Jack had been married for 19 years and have had a joint law practice for almost that long. Life was good till the Christmas Day when Jack went to the office for a minute and ended up getting murdered by a clients husband. The book follows the year following the death and the way Liz and her 5 children had to adjust to life with out Jack. Each holiday was real hard. The oldest son, Peter was hurt about 8 months after his dad died and Liz met Peter's doctor. It took awhile, but a relationship formed. The first Christmas was real tough, Bill, the doctor and Liz broke up for awhile but got back together....hopefully forever!
