But when they become adults they still make mistakes, this novel goes through some of the trails Annie and the kids go through after they grow up.
Opinion:
This is the second Danielle Steel novel I've picked up and honestly I'm not sure I'm going to read another one. She has a semi interesting writing style, the two books I've read summarize the life of the characters in a few short pages as they set up the characters for the time period and storyline that will take up the majority of the story. I enjoyed Big Girl but I found family ties to be kind of hokey. It was bad, but weird because it was so bad I couldn't put it down til I finished reading it. This is a first for me, I usually put a bad book down and quit reading it. Or at least I try to.
Why I chose to read this:
One of the magical freebies I got for the kindle, read it during the honeymoon.
