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 is the first time I have read Danielle Steel in a long time. It was nice to take a break and just read a "beach book" with a good story line. Yeah, I agree with a lot of comments about the writing over and over again, but still a pretty good read and not raunchy at all. If you like stories about family and sisters and relationships, it is a good book."

— MJ, 1/4/2014" Now, I know what people say about Danielle Steel (I've said a couple things too), but I have read a few of her novels, and this one was by far the less soap opera-ish. "
— Malerie, 1/2/2014" Listened to audio and car trip. Passed the time. Related to loss of mother. "
— Marilyn, 12/22/2013" Very depressing and just plain cheesy. "

— Patrick, 4/15/2013" Some interesting characters but contrived ending. "
— Carol, 2/18/2013" I always like Danielle Steel books. This one was another one that I enjoyed. It starts out with the picture perfect family, tragedy hits and they over come it. I guess that's the basis for all her books! LOL! Anyway if you like her, you'll like this book too. "
— Amy, 12/22/2012" A story of what families really should be about. A little too stock on the ending but still a great story. "

— Antnjoobie, 11/7/2011" What I learned from this book is that Steel continues to provide reading material when you're desperate for a "turn brain off summer read". "
— Gina, 10/28/2011" A nice book, with one or a few breath-taking moments, but except that, nothing special. "

— 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. "
