FROM OUR EDITORS
Danielle Steel weaves another tangled web of deceit and betrayal in Leap of Faith, the story of one womans triumph over several kinds of adversity. Orphaned at the age of 11, Marie-Ange Hawkins is forced to leave her familys château in France and live with her cold and uncaring elderly aunt on a farm in Iowa. There she befriends the boy next door, who grows up at her side and comes to love her. But when Marie-Ange turns 21, she learns that her penny-pinching aunt has hidden the fact that her parents left millions of dollars in trust. Heady with her newfound wealth, Marie-Ange returns to her childhood home, where she meets the handsome Comte Bernard de Beauchamp. A whirlwind marriage and two children follow, but Marie-Ange soon learns that her husband is not the man she thinks he is; he just may be a cold-blooded killer.
