Publisher Description
On a warm May night in San Francisco, the Ritz-Carlton ballroom shimmers with crystal and silver as a glittering, celebrity-studded crowd gathers for a charity dinner dance. The evening is perfect—until, just minutes before midnight, the room begins to sway. Glass shatters. And as the lights go out, people begin to scream.…
In the earthquake’s aftermath, the lives of four strangers will converge.… Sarah Sloane, the beautiful wife of a financial whiz, watches her perfect world fall to pieces.… Grammy-winning singer Melanie Free, the event’s headliner, comes to a turning point in her life and career…. Photographer Everett Carson, a former war correspondent whose personal demons have demoted him to covering society parties, finds new purpose amid the carnage…and Sister Maggie Kent, a nun who normally works in jeans and high-tops with the homeless, searches through the rubble—and knows instantly that there is much work to be done.…
As the city staggers back to life, a chain reaction of extraordinary events will touch each of the survivors.… For Sarah, it begins with the discovery of a crime and a betrayal, then a strength she never knew she had. For Melanie, volunteering at a refugee camp will open new worlds of possibility. And Everett will be shaken by the unlikely relationship he forges with Maggie, who helps him rebuild his shattered life—and upends her own in the process. But as a year passes, and the anniversary of the earthquake approaches, more surprises are in store—as each discovers the unexpected gifts in a tragedy’s wake…and the amazing grace of new beginnings.

"I loved this book. I read it really fast, because it was wonderful. Danielle Steele sometimes writes a little too close to formula, but in this case, with this book, it was fine. This would make a good beach read."

" Not one of her best. I probably read it in the time it took her to write it. "
— Penny, 2/18/2014 -
" Great read, not too enrapturing and a little predictable, but simply, nice. "
— Kris, 2/14/2014 -
" The book is related to 4 different people and their stories after an earthquake has hit. Although the storyline is relativity good, there is a LOT of strong language, disrespectful references between mother and daughter, and sexual references. I would not recommend this book to those that don't like this kind of content in the book. "
— Elaine, 2/10/2014 -
" Toward the end of the story it became really gripping, but the beginning wasn't great. "
— Marianne, 2/10/2014 -
" This is a trashy read that doesn't require a lot of concetration. Was good for a beach holiday but predictable as most of her books are. "
— Stacey, 2/9/2014 -
" A tiny bit repetitive. "
— Yoselin, 2/6/2014 -
" This book was a nice, light read, but it's nothing compared to the first books Danielle Steele wrote. "
— Ilaria, 1/9/2014 -
" An easy read; not the normal Danielle Steele storyline of sex and romance. Refreshing. "
— Blogsdon, 1/5/2014 -
" I liked it. I like the whole finding yourself and not staying on the path you think you are going to stay on aspect. "
— Becca, 12/25/2013 -
" Guess I have finally tired of her noble formula. Could not finish this book and I tried ...3 times. "

— Djarwelchaol.com, 11/13/2013 -
" This was a typical danielle steel book. I hadn't read her in 10 years, now i know why. The language hurts my ears. She repeats her self a lot. It will be another 10 years if even that if i read her again. There is no meaning to her words "
— Susan, 9/18/2013 -
" I wasn't that impressed with this one. Light read. "

" Long time since I read a Danielle Steel... It was better than I thought it would be! "
— Amy, 6/17/2013 -
" set in one of my favorite cities - San Franscisco other than that it is a typical Danielle Steel book - something to lose yourself in on a 17 degree day when the wind steals your breath away. "
— Shannon, 4/12/2013 -
" I liked how this book started out. as I read it, It got too soap operary . it was a very good story line but not enough action. an easy and enjoyable read. "
— Jo-marie, 3/29/2013 -
" Not Danielle's best, by any stretch of the imagination. I got flat bored in some parts. "
— Lora, 1/1/2013 -
" Pfft! Anyone who says Danielle Steel's a low-calibur writer should read this...I 'converted' ten people with this book! "
— M., 8/28/2012 -
" It was a good book however the ending left me wanting. I can't really pinpoint why but I was expecting a better ending the novel. I didn't sigh and think wow that was good like I do with so many others of her books. "
— Karen, 8/25/2012 -
" What a great book, with ups and downs. I just loved it and it was a fast read. "
— Shawn, 8/2/2012 -
" OMG...when will this book end? I am disliking this book royally..it's such a boring book..no substance...etc. I am not one to quit a book, esp when there are only a few more chapters left. I can't believe that I used to only read DS. Thank Goodness my eyes were opened!! "
— Nikki, 7/19/2012 -
" A light read...Steel tries to show what is important in life--not glamor and riches, but family. "
— Sharon, 4/25/2012 -
" Just shut up. Someone gave it to me (don't ask), and I didn't have anything else to read. It was...about what you'd expect. "
— Jennifer, 2/26/2012 -

— Nancy, 12/16/2011 -
" Okay. Don't beat me up for reading Danielle Steel, but after a Long Way Gone, Virgin Suicides and Into the Wild, I needed something light. I read this in a day and I must admit it was just tooooooooooo sappy for me. Forgive me bookclub! ;) "

" Listened to this as an audio book while in my sewing room. It's a light read, nothing earth shaking, sort of easy to predict what was going to happen. "
— Patricia, 5/23/2011 -
" Okay story, fairly predictable love story. "
— Linda, 1/11/2011 -
" It's a typical slightly cheesy Danielle Steel novel. I give it props for not going with the typical love story... but I didn't find it really taxed my mind all that much. I also didn't end up feeling too much for the characters. "
— Capergirl, 1/7/2011 -
" Danielle Steel books just aren't for me. "
— Michelle, 12/29/2010 -
