Publisher Description
Bill is a dedicated young lawyer working at his family’s prestigious New York firm, who leaves everything he trained for to follow his dream and become a minister in rural Wyoming. Jenny, his wife, is a stylist whose heart and soul are invested in fashion. She leaves the milieu and life she loves to join him. The certainty they share is that their destinies are linked forever.
Fast forward thirty-eight years. Robert is a hardworking independent book publisher in Manhattan, who has given up all personal life to build his struggling business. He is looking for one big hit novel to publish. Lillibet is a young Amish woman, living as though in the seventeenth century, caring for her widowed father and three young brothers on their family farm. In secret at night, by candlelight, she has written the novel that burns within her, and gets it into Robert’s hands, wrapped in her hand-stitched apron. He falls in love first with the book, and then with the woman he has never met, living in the sequestered world of the Amish—a world without telephones, computers, electricity, modern conveniences, or cars. Although Lillibet faces banishment from her family and community, she embraces the opportunity to publish her novel, and is irresistibly drawn to the man who has heard her voice. Destiny is at work here. Fate draws her from her horse-and-buggy life toward his, and the publication of her novel.
In the hands of master storyteller Danielle Steel, these two remarkable relationships come together in unexpected and surprising ways, as lovers are lost, and find each other again. If it is true that real love lasts forever and lovers cannot lose each other, then Until the End of Time will not only comfort and fascinate us, as destiny does her dance, but it will give us hope as well. Love and fate are powerful, irresistible forces, as Steel proves to us here, in a book about courage, change, risk, and hope...and love that never dies.

"what a fantastic story! I thought halfway through this book that it was two books in one until a friend online said for me to wait and see, brilliant, brilliant read and as someone said, her books are getting better and better, wouldn't have thought that was possible"

" One of Danielle Steel's best books. "
— Aggie, 2/12/2014 -
" I don't read a lot of Danielle Steel's books so I didn't realize this wasn't her usual. I liked the book.. "
— Kathyz, 2/7/2014 -
" Typical Danielle Steel book, with little bit of a difference "
— Judy, 2/3/2014 -
" Excellent Different than her other books "
— Jennette, 2/2/2014 -
" The first one half of this book was pretty good; but when it came to the second half and trying to tie the two parts together, it turned sour. I would have been happier with just a book centered on part one of this book. "
— Kathy, 2/2/2014 -
" Only read the first story, didn't care for the second one. "
— Arlene, 1/19/2014 -
" I enjoyed this book. It is two separate stories in one.. although somewhat intertwined. It is just a nice, easy read... not much thinking... a good escape. The second story leaves me wanting more though... I wish she would write a sequel with those characters. "
— Lesley, 1/12/2014 -
" Typical Danielle Steele ... two sweet short stories "
— Jeanne, 1/11/2014 -
" I love Danielle Steele but this wasn't a favourite! Found the way the two stories linked rather strange and a little odd. "
— Lisa, 1/7/2014 -
" This was definitely one of Danielle Steel's best books. A great story about love and loss and finding true love again. "
— Patricia, 12/13/2013 -
" Kind of two stories in one, but sorta related. Another easy Danielle Steel read. Because of the two story lines it was like reading two short stories and didn't feel the characters or stories were as well developed. Might have worked better if they had been. "
— Phyllis, 11/30/2013 -
" Just finished this last night. Enjoyed the first part more than the second - wished the author had expanded on the relationship in the second part of the book more. It's a love story!!! "
— Rosemary, 10/27/2013 -
" Not a typical Danielle Steel storyline, which kept things interesting. Although I thought the ending was a little forced and not quite believable. "
— Kelli, 9/4/2013 -
" This was supposed to be a book about a romantic reincarnation... talk about an epic fail! The first story in the book would have been better on its own, expanded just a tad. Not her best work; I wouldn't recommend. "
— Monique, 8/27/2013 -
" Could not force myself to finish this book. Such snooze-ville. "
— Mandy, 7/18/2013 -
" I loved the two love stories in this book...especially the second one; however, I am only giving it a 4-star rating as it had a supernatural twist that wasn't needed nor appreciated. Be real...people are not stars!!! "
— Betty, 7/18/2013 -
" I have been disappointed with her books lately but I really liked this one. Not so much repetition. "
— Julie, 4/29/2013 -
" The book consists of two stories - I listened to the first and was bored with the second and have up. "
— Melanie, 4/4/2013 -
" As a long time Danielle Steel reader this book reminded me of some of her earlier books. A romance with a path that is never smooth. It was a light read that kept me reading even if the story followed a common path. "
— Leighann, 4/3/2013 -
" The first story is ok but the ending stunk. Second story was just lame. "
— Mandy, 3/12/2013 -
" I grew up reading Danielle Steel, so I still try to read them. I thought this one was better than they have been lately. The first half was a better story I think...but overall a good book. very fast read. it took me about 2 hours. "
— Denise, 2/2/2013 -
" loved it. Danelle Steele is one of my favorite authors. "
— Susie, 1/31/2013 -
" Absurd fantasy. Definitely not a favorite. "
— Carol, 1/29/2013 -
" Just okay. Simple read and nothing very exciting. "
