Publisher's summary

From number one New York Times best-selling author Danielle Steel comes the gripping story of a woman who loses everything - her husband, her home, her sense of self and safety, and her freedom.

Sydney Wells' perfect life with her wealthy, devoted husband vanishes when he dies suddenly in an accident. Widowed at 49, she discovers he has failed to include her in his will. With Andrew's vicious daughters in control of his estate, and no home or money, Sydney finds a job in fashion, despite her own designer daughters' warnings. Naive, out of her element, and alone in a world of shady international deals and dishonest people, she is set up by her boss and finds herself faced with criminal prosecution.

What happens when you lose everything? Husband, safety, protection, money, and reputation gone, faced with prison, she must rebuild her own life from the bottom to the top again, with honor, resourcefulness, and dignity. Sydney finds herself, as well as courage and resilience. Taking life by the horns, she revives her own career as a talented designer, from New York to Hong Kong, risking all in an exotic, unfamiliar world. She is determined to forge a new life she can be proud of.

I enjoyed this book and it was a good change from my intrigue and mystery books!

Grace

Great! Enjoyed every minute of it. one of Danielle Steels best .I recommend it.

Just an "eh" book, not a page turner

I found this book pretty blah. I am a Danielle Steel and pretty much know what to expect. I liked the narrator, but would have preferred a woman narrator, for this woman POV story. He was a little slow too. I found the book somewhat cliche and had some eye rolling moments. I also don't know why Danielle repeated herself dozens of times! I heard her explain the practice of the designers soooo many times. Repeating over and over that they would make slight changes, and not break the law. She also revisited over and over how Andrew left her high and dry, but not his intention. I found it incredibly redundant and didn't give the reader any credit for being able to put 2 and 2 together.

I liked the premise of the book, but wish there were more details, I had a hard time "picturing" the settings too and I could barely even imagine what the main characters look like.

I just didn't connect with this book.

good book

slow but it took up time in the car.... n nice ending.... like Danielle steel.

Wonderful Story

I hadn’t listened to a Danielle Steel book in a long time, but took a chance on this one with a special offer. I’m so glad that I did. It’s a story of a woman’s struggle when the chips are down and all is lost, but then she rises to be stronger than ever. Good read or listen!

Good read

Excellent book, enjoyed listening. This was the first Danielle Steele book that I had completed and she is a great writer.

Good - not a “page turner”

Enjoyed the story. Kind of “as expected”. Found my self appropriately rooting on the heroine and cussing the bad guy. Bit of a yawner at the end.

Love the story

Great story. It was clear and easy to listen with a amazing message. Highly recommend.

Great and Entertaining Read!

The reader did an excellent job with the characters & helped their development. I can even see this being such a good movie to go and see. I thoroughly enjoyed it & hope others do as well.

Really enjoyed

I Loved the storyline and enjoyed the journey through the eyes of Sydney! Roller coaster of emotions in a good way.
