Danielle Steel never fails me ending up in bed, sobering myself to sleep! The words are very simple yet it can absolutely pain a reader's heart.This story is family-based; about a young love that blossomed into something really foolish. She got pregnant and was nowhere to go thus the decision of going somewhere else and start anew.There she met this guy who changed life's meaning. They were ok. In fact, very in love. The guy knew she was pregnant from a previous love and it was rather a romantic...
Wow! One of those books you read so long ago that you forgot about it! Discovered again/reminded about thanks to Goodreads. I marked it as read, however since it's been 'so' long, I'm not rating it. Just remember reading it and liking it back then......memory lane.
In 1950s USA, sixteen year-old Maribeth goes to a school dance (wearing what her father calls a flimsy prom dress and disgusting makeup) and lets a senior star athlete who normally wouldn't give her the time of day (and has just "broken up" with his girlfriend) flatter her into unprotected sex in the front seat his car on the way home. Maribeth ends up pregnant, the boy goes back to his girlfriend the next day and doesn't care what happens to Maribeth, Maribeth's brother realizes she's pregnant
I chose to read this book based off a quote I stumbled upon in my search for inspiration about losing love ones. Unbeknownst to me, I entered the rainbows and sunshine realm of Danielle Steel's romance fiction, suffered immensely, and waited longingly for the salvation of the last page. This book was repetitive, boring and downright cliché.
I'd say that this book was mainly directed towards teens. I thought this book was very knowledgeable and interesting. I loved how Steele portrayed the idea that there is a reason for everyone who enters your life, and there is also a reason for their leaving. Also that not everyone is meant to be a part of your life forever, but some are only there to bring a "gift," not saying what that gift might be.
As I was perusing the Rockridge library in search of a romance novel for my month of trash, I felt unexpectedly out of place turning the revolving paperback romance shelves, like I had found one of the many hidden exits from well-adjusted, socially accepted sanity into the hazy fringe. This, I felt, was taboo. Which is exactly what this month was supposed to be about. But I had a mission, and that mission was to find Danielle Steel. I was a little disappointed to discover her shelved with the ha...
This is a heart warming, compassionate and yet inspirational book about two families that have suffered tragedies and are trying to get their lives back.

I am on holidays from my studies and decided to read a DS novel. Great choice! It was a refreshing and endearing easy read. A 1950's setting which could easily translate to current day, I flew through this without a moment's hesitation. I found this hiding in a draw in the caravan after my summer holiday ~ I bit off more than I could chew with my reading list ~ it would have been perfect for that setting as well. I tend to read DS on holidays, for that simple and comforting reason of light, easy...
It was a great story in my opinion on how this family overcomes misfortune that seem impossible to overcome. It shows how the love of a stranger is sometimes kinder than the love of a family member. What i like most of all was the fact that the story took place in 1950s where what the brave young girl did and acted was seen as shameful and now most young girls have done what she has and worst and now the way girl acted in the book seem to be how girls now a days are. As i was reading this book
This is my first contemporary read. It was good well written and good characters. No one was bad in the books. Everyone was good 😁. .I liked her thoughts that ppl come into our life for a reason and leave after the work is done. It's the thing which I too believe in. .I guess it was kind off informative book for living life. .It's not my genre but I like it. I can read such book once in a while.
"This book was very good" he said, and he meant it. He loved that book very much and felt closer and closer to the book every day. He and the book had a very strong bond that would never be broken, forever, he knew that. He knew he loved it so much because it was so very good, and he was so very good, and he was wise beyond his years, but also young, but also wise, but maybe a bit naive, but definitely very much in love with this very good book. Everyone could see how very much in love he was, h...
This was an easy read. The story was "cute" and heartwarming. The writing was very story driven; and by that I mean there was a lot of "she did this and he said that and they went here" but not as much descriptive details about the surroundings as many other books I read have. The story was enjoyable to read, and had some great lessons in it, but it wasn't one of those stories that I couldn't put down. I do wish there was a sequel, because I'm wondering if the main characters kept their promise
