Stanley is a 99 year old who lives alone (with round the clock nurses) in a house built in the 1920's. Sarah, 38, is Stanley's lawyer. He keeps telling her to enjoy life. After Stanley's death, Sarah contacts the 19 heirs to Stanley's huge fortune. Unbeknownst to Sarah, a codicil was also read at the reading of the will giving Sarah $750,000.
Sarah takes Stanley's advice and does do something with the money that was bequeathed to her. She decides to buy Stanley's house. While fixing up the mansion, Sarah learns the secrets of the house and that this house is tied to her family....full circle. ( )

I read hundreds of books a year...been a book junkie for 56 years. That said, believe it or not, this is my very first Danielle Steel novel. Strange, right???? I have reservations about authors who spit out books as often as I do my laundry. I finally decided to give her a chance, and I have no regrets. I enjoyed the story. There's nothing groundbreaking about it, it was a smoothe, sweet read and I did enjoy getting to know the characters. I believe I will read some more of Danielle's work. ( )

This book is the kind of easy read I'd take to the beach. The storyline runs smoothly and ends in a very satisfying neat and tidy way. A typical Danielle Steel classic. ( )

I read the first 35 pages and got lost in thinking too much about anything else than the book itself.

I'm done with Danielle Steel. Time to move on to another writer. ( )
