I am a huge fan of Danielle Steel books, and this book did not disappoint at all.
The Whittiers are a close family with six children with a big span of ages and stages in life. When their parents are unexpectedly killed in an accident, the siblings are torn with what to do with the house and Benjie, their autistic brother. Each sibling has their own life situations going on, and they soon realize that relying on each other helps them get through everything. The story is fast paced and touches on a wide range of topics from unwed pregnancy, accepting of a gay brother, autism, divorce, and of course the death of a parent. While each sibling works on their own lives, they also help each other blossom and become the best part of themselves.
This is a beautiful story of family, love, loss and forgiveness. Each sibling's life is described beautifully, and the story flows effortlessly from person to person. As always, Danielle Steel tells a story that touched my heart and makes me appreciate my own family and life even more.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Six children…all different…two strong parents…tragedy…love and romance…family problems…disagreements…making up…extended family and friends…themes running throughout this book…although there is just too much information at times…some things must be left to the reader’s imagination, this gifted author has woven a story of a family in a way that one imagines it is a memoir instead of fiction. The characters come alive on the pages. Enjoy. This book was sent to me for review by Netgalley.
