Publisher Description

Eleven years have passed since Alexa Hamilton left the South behind, fleeing the pain of her ex-husband’s betrayal and the cruelty of his prominent Charleston family. Now an assistant D.A. in Manhattan, Alexa has made a name for herself as a top prosecutor while juggling her role as devoted single mom to a teenage daughter. But everything changes when Alexa is handed her latest case: the trial of accused serial killer Luke Quentin. Alexa prepares for a high-stakes trial . . . until threatening letters are addressed to her beautiful seventeen-year-old daughter, Savannah. Alexa is certain that Quentin is behind the letters — and that they are too dangerous to ignore. Suddenly she must make the toughest choice of all — and send her daughter back to the very place she swore she would never return to: the place where her marriage ended in heartbreak . . . her ex-husband’s world of southern tradition, memories of betrayal, and the antebellum charm of Charleston. Now, while Alexa’s trial builds to a climax in New York, her daughter is settling into southern life, discovering a part of her family history and a father she barely knows. As secrets are exposed and old wounds are healed, Alexa and Savannah, after a season in different worlds, will come together again — strengthened by the challenges they have faced, and with Savannah now at home in the southern world her mother fled. A novel that will catch you off guard at every turn, Southern Lights is Danielle Steel at her electrifying best.

"I hadn't read a DS book in a while because they all seemed to have the same "strong-woman" character and plot. This one does have a woman as the primary character but the location was set in Louisiana so I decided to read it. I am glad I did because I really enjoyed it and it was an easy read."

    " Had picked up this book thinking it would be more of a legal-courtroom drama ... but then Steele in true form still kept it about relationships, family, love and ofcourse happily ever after!! Pretty usual and regular stuff ...been there, read that loads of time .... ! Blah ... blah ....AND BLAH!!! "

    " I thoroughly enjoyed the first Danielle Steele book I read. Lately, not so much. Bungalow 2 was a disaster. And her heroines are increasingly wimpy - not the women of her earlier works. It does seem condescending to the reader - as if we could only relate to the dowdy, whiny, downtrodden would-be-successful if they had made better decisions. She departs a little bit with this heroine but trades it for fear and bitterness. Last time I checked men didn't find that attractive. Also, she should fire her proofreader. Maybe she texted the entire book in. I hear that's the new thing. "

    " I've read many of Danielle Steels books over the years but I finally gave up reading her books because they started to seem like they were just falling off the conveyer belt in her book factory. I just finished her book "Souther Lights" and enjoyed reading it. A nice story. "

    " Good book but there is a lot of swearing. I was very tempted to white out all the swear words, as my friend says "no one needs to read that. the book is just as good with out it" I feel guilty doing that since it is a library book. :) "
