Tammy ，

This story was filled with so much emotion， Daphne went through so much in her short life that you could only hope that she would find happiness at the end of the story。Each tragedy seems to make her stronger and more persistant to succeed and make a life for herself and her 8year old deaf son Andrew。 I enjoyed this story and how much I can relate to alot of these events in my own life or my friends lives。。

An excellent heart warming read。 Its the kind of book you want to pick up on a Sunday afternoon， and slowly let yourself drown in the magic of the author's words。 The emotions expressed in the book， so multi-layered， vivid and astonishingly real; they felt out of the world， yet so familiar and close to my heart。 An excellent heart warming read。 Its the kind of book you want to pick up on a Sunday afternoon， and slowly let yourself drown in the magic of the author's words。 The emotions expressed in the book， so multi-layered， vivid and astonishingly real; they felt out of the world， yet so familiar and close to my heart。 。。。more

Very well written as all of Danielle Steels novels。 However， it's a little stretch in some parts。 Very well written as all of Danielle Steels novels。 However， it's a little stretch in some parts。 。。。more

Delicioso， trágico e amoroso

Drishti Rao ，

A very slow paced book but a joy to read。 I loved the way the struggles and heart breaks were portrayed by the author but my only concern is that it moved very slowly。

Arun Khanna ，

It’s a must read for ardent Danielle Steele Book lovers。 One of her earlier works 。 Truly outstanding 。 She has been able to space out the story really well。 The brilliance of her writing comes out beautifully 。 Very well crafted like a gem。 Thank you Danielle for your outstanding books。 They change us for the better 。 Always 。 Wishing you a lot of love and happiness。 Thanks for your love。 Arun

Shannon ，

This book was hard for me to get into。 It did not hold my interest for long periods of time but I do wish there was a second book。 I would like to know what Daphne does after she gets out of the hospital。 Do her and Matt get married？？ Maybe another book based on Daphnes assistant so we can see what happens to Barbara。

Tiffany Manning ，

Author Daphne Fields was struck by a car and her flashbacks she has of all the extreme heartache over the years she suffered。 Love the places this book took me to and the story behind it all。 This is a great reminder for us in real life to always appreciate what we have each day。

Joyce Weatherford ，

Once in a LifetimeLove！ Danielle Steel knows how to write about life and love better than any author I’ve read。 She develops her characters until you feel like you know each one。

Rene Wait ，

Brought me to tears and laughter， a must read

Alexia Xuereb ，

I really liked the part about her son Andrew。 He had a hearing impairment。 Danielle Steele really succeeded to point out the difficulties such children and their parents had to face。 At the same time she encourages not to give up and to seek the help we need to help these wonderful children to reach their full potential！

Sikiru ，

You cant stop when you start

Della ，

Very good Story。

Lisa E ，

3。5 stars

Ann ，

I knew mother phones that her baby son is deaf。 Romance and wedding bells ring loud， when she meets a man that changes both of their lives。 The lifetime movie for this book was pretty good。

Kalee ，

If you're looking for a page turner this probably won't do it for you。 Like many mentioned， the title doesn't have much to do with the story itself。 I enjoyed Daphne and Barbara's adventure to Hollywood immensely but the story overall isn't a favorite and there was a cheesy moment toward the end。 The book itself that I own is a relic first edition I found at Goodwill so it's a keeper。 If you're looking for a page turner this probably won't do it for you。 Like many mentioned， the title doesn't have much to do with the story itself。 I enjoyed Daphne and Barbara's adventure to Hollywood immensely but the story overall isn't a favorite and there was a cheesy moment toward the end。 The book itself that I own is a relic first edition I found at Goodwill so it's a keeper。 。。。more

I somehow cannot not give 5 stars to a Danielle Steel book :） She always makes misery seem beautiful。

Ana ，

Entretenido， es la historia de Daphne Fields， una célebre escritora que sufre un accidente。 El libro va llevando a escenas del pasado que permiten entender el presente。 La protagonista creía que sólo se podía tener el amor una vez en la vida， pero ésta se encarga de demostrarle lo contrario， puede encontrarse más de una vez， y de dos。。。
