Excellent Book. I have had this book for years and never read it because I thought Danielle Steel's books had become all the same. I was wrong! This is a great book very entertaining. Always changing and keeping you involved.

This is my favorite DS book! (And the movie is pretty good too!) The setting spans 50 years and is the story of love and war and a woman's struggle to keep her family together. If you love generational stories, this is the book for you!
