Publisher Description
Four sisters, a Manhattan brownstone, and a tumultuous year of loss and courage are at the heart of Danielle Steel’s new novel about a remarkable family, a stunning tragedy—and what happens when four very different young women come together under one very lively roof.
Twenty-one-year-old Candy is blazing her way through Paris, New York, and Tokyo as fashion’s latest international supermodel. Her sister Tammy, twenty-nine, has a job producing the most successful hit show on TV. In New York, oldest sister Sabrina, thirty-four, is an ambitious young lawyer, while Annie, at twenty-six, is an American in Florence, living for her art. One Fourth of July weekend, the four sisters come home to Connecticut for their family’s annual gathering. But before the holiday is over, tragedy strikes and their world is utterly changed.
Suddenly, four sisters who have been fervently pursuing success and their own lives come together to share one New York brownstone, to support each other, and to pick up the pieces while one of them struggles to heal her shattered body and soul. A bustling house is soon filled with eccentric dogs, laughter, tears, friends, men . . . and the kind of honesty and unconditional love only sisters can provide. But as the four women settle in, they are forced to confront the direction of their respective lives.
With unerring insight and compassion, Danielle Steel tells a compelling story of sisters who are irrevocably woven into the fabric of one another’s lives. Brilliantly blending humor and heartbreak, she delivers a powerful message about the fragility—and the wonder—of life.

"This book is about 4 sisters who are all different in every way, but are very close to each other. Danielle Steel is a great author that gets you hooked at the beginning and keeps you entertained all the way thru. This book made me laugh, cry and think about the things that really matter in life."

Sisters Listener Reviews

" quick read, little brainpower required! "
— Sally, 2/20/2014 -
" I love my sisters (Amy is #1, No Theresa) "
— Laura, 2/13/2014 -
" This is a book about four sisters and events that take place in their lives that strengthen their already strong bond. I received it as a Christmas present from older sister (appropriate). I haven't read any of Danielle Steel's books in a really, really long time. I appreciated the premise of the book since I am close to two of my sisters. It is a very easy read and at times too predictable, too simply written. I thought she could have spent more time on character development but that could just be her style or it could just be that I'm booking a book snob - gasp! But the story is a good reminder of the strength of family ties. One of the sisters reminded me very much of my own sister which is most likely why she enjoyed the book so much. Since it was a gift from my sister whom I love dearly, I'll cut the book some slack:) "

" Good book dealing with loss, Chanel's and love. "
— Denise, 2/3/2014 -
" I was curious .... but I can't believe I actually read the whole book. Biggest piece of crap I have ever wasted my time reading. I'm almost embarassed to admit I read it. That's what happens when you have a three hour layover and you grab the first book you see just to have something to do. Luckily I made it on an earlier flight. What i learned? That it isn't that hard to fluff a book with a lot of repetition but it sure is a boring read. "
— Margo, 2/2/2014 -
" A powerful story of the love of four sister overcoming terrible tragedy and learning about themselves in the process. This novel teaches readers that people can come through horrific and painful tragedy and end up being stronger in the end. "

" Another predictable Danielle Steel book! "
— Andrea, 9/20/2012 -
" It is definatly chic lit.,but one of the best of the genre. Although there was plenty of drama, there was humor and a good plot. It was nice to read something for a change where the sisters and the parents loved each other and had "normal" relationships. No dark, sinister "edge" to the story. "
— Diana, 8/26/2012 -
" I am listening to this book on cd. It is a 10 hours long. But, it has been a good listen. I think this is the best way to handle my 1 hour drive to and from work. Anyway, I am enjoying it. "
— Sheila, 8/9/2012 -
" Favorite author, never disappoints. "
— Cassandra, 5/29/2012 -
" My first Steel book. I laughed and cried while reading this story about sisters overcoming a tragedy in their lives. "
— Leann, 5/19/2012 -
" Not a big Danielle Steele Fan, but this one is pretty engrossing. I think she tends to oversimplify relationships and removes the complexity from them. No one loves their family that much, all the time. "
— Casey, 3/18/2012 -
" I really enjoyed the healing journey of the sisters through tragedy, injury, and grief. Interwined in the midst were all the feelings involved in the life and loves of each of the sisters and of their father. It was very hard to put this book down! "
— Patti, 12/18/2011 -
" Pretty typical of a Danielle Steel book. Stories are good, but sometimes I feel like I'm reading a book for a child. "

" Haven't reads a Danielle Steel book in awhile and so glad I did read this one. Four sisters and their troubles, really enjoyed this book! "
— Dragonfly, 6/2/2011 -
" Sisters is a sweet & syrupy kind of book. I'm not really into that, but since the author added drama to it I enjoyed it. It's a really great all-around book that made me cry a few times. I like how the author made the artist sister Annie blind after the car accident. "
— Bridget, 5/12/2011 -
" I laughed and cried through the entire book and am already recommending it to friends. The story is about four sisters and as I am also one of four sisters, the book really hit home for me and I could picture my sisters and I going through such trials together. A wonderful read. "
