Nineteen-year-old Annabelle Worthington was born into a life of privilege, but everything changed on an April day in 1912, when the sinking of the Titanic changed her family and her world forever. Finding strength within her grief, Annabelle pours herself into volunteer work, igniting a passion for medicine that would shape the course of her life.
But for Annabelle, first love, and a seemingly idyllic marriage, will soon bring grief caused by the secrets of her husband. Betrayed, and pursued by undeserved scandal, Annabelle flees New York for war-ravaged France, hoping to lose herself in a life of service. There, in the heart of the First World War, in a groundbreaking field hospital run by women, Annabelle finds her true calling, studying medicine and saving lives. And when the war ends, Annabelle begins a new life in Paris – now a doctor, a mother, her past almost forgotten... until a fateful meeting opens her heart to the world she had left behind.
Finding strength in the most unlikely of friendships, pulling together the broken fragments of her life, Annabelle will return to New York one more time -- this time a changed woman, a woman of substance, infused with life's experience, building a future filled with hope...out of the rich soil of the past.

Summary: Good Read
Comment: There was a bit of hand-wringing and repetition but on the whole the book was interesting and I couldn't put it down. It does take you places: Paris, South of France, England, Newport, R.I. Also, I really appreciated what two of the characters in the book said to her and about her. Truths for us all to hold on to. One said something about knowing who your real friends are and not being concerned about what fair-weathered friends think/say about you. The other about the real person inside, a person's qualities that set them apart from the masses. That being what defines us and makes us exceptional.

Summary: My DS Opinion
Comment: After reading this book I wasn't a bit let down. There have only been a few books of Danielle Steel's that I can say that didn't totally take me away but I am happy to say this one did. Her books are based on so many truisms in life and real history. I read for the adventure and to lift my thinking and this book came through for me. Her books are like an old friend..I can always count on them to stir emontions and this one did just that.
